Parmalet (Crisp Parmesan Omelet) Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Egg Recipes. (Parmalet (Crisp Parmesan Omelet) Recipe). I was attempting to achieve a crispy, inside-out Parmesan omelet--and it worked! The caramelized cheese formed a thin but protective layer and, since the eggs had never directly touched the pan, they were moist and tender. This will also work whether you use one or three eggs, depending on the texture you're going for. Using a single egg is kind of a cool trick, since the cheese layer is almost as thick, and you can really appreciate the crispness even more.

Directions

Step 1

Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon water. Whisk together until just beaten (do not overmix).

Step 2

Drizzle olive oil into 8-inch nonstick skillet. Brush evenly over the bottom of the pan. Evenly grate cheese into the skillet approximately 1/2-inch deep (or just shy of 1 ounce).

Step 3

Place pan over medium-high heat. Cheese will slowly start to melt. When cheese starts to bubble and turn golden brown about 4 minutes pour eggs evenly over cheese. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle with salt pepper and cayenne. Cover and let eggs cook on low until they are set checking after the first 30 seconds. For 2 eggs this should take about 1 minute total cooking time. Remove pan from heat. Carefully use a spatula to fold \parmalet\ in half. Transfer to serving plate.
