How I cut them:

I diced all the vegetables into really small pieces.

How I cooked it:

The Omelette

Beat eggs and milk into a frothy and evenly coloured mix. This process requires rigorous whisking for around 30 seconds to a minute or so depending on the process that one would use for whisking. I’d whisked it in a steel glass using a fork, which took me around a minute. Midway the whisking, I added some salt to the mix. I’d read somewhere that, when we add salt to the egg mix, the mix starts to thicken. My intention was to have a thick base, thick enough to hold the filling within. When it was whisked well, I left it aside for some time.

Meanwhile, I heated oil in a Skillet on low flame and added whole black pepper. I added the diced onions when the pepper started to fry and started popping out of the Skillet like bullets out of a machine gun.

When the onion appeared to be turning brown, I added the diced vegetables, ground black pepper, salt and sautéed the mix till it was cooked. It had taken around just under 2 minutes since the vegetables were diced really small. When done, I removed the vegetables from the Skillet and placed in a dish.

In the same Skillet and, over a medium flame I poured the egg/milk mix spreading it throughout the Skillet. 

As the omelette was getting cooked, and while the top was still soggy and almost done, I sprinkled the shredded Cheese and the cooked vegetable mix on one half of the omelette.

Then, I lifted the other half of the omelette and turned it over enveloping the veggies and cheese mix, leaving it to cook like this for around 5-10 seconds.

After which, I turned over the omelette to cook from the other side for another 5-10 seconds.

When done, I moved the omelette on to a plate.

Butter Toasted Bread

In the same Skillet, I heated the butter and added the remnant of the veggies. As the veggies were getting fried I toasted the bread slices on it.

 And this is how it looked:

The experience:

Tastes great!! It felt absolutely fantastic, especially when I chewed onto the first piece of that omelette, little bombs of black pepper burst into my mouth. I just closed my eyes and I could visualize the New Year’s Day fireworks. It was all happening in my mouth. Fantastic!!

Yes, it was a bit spicy. It was because of the 1tbsp of the whole black peppers and the additional 1tsp of ground black pepper in the veggies. However, it was good for me because I killed the heat with a glass of Goji Berry Juice.

All in all, a very energy filled breakfast combo packing in 875 Calories from the Omelette and 125 Calories from the Juice. That is a total of 1,000!! I had my next meal only after 12 hours.

My wife is a big egg fan, and I am going to cook this again on one of the weekends after she is back. You too must try. Try it and do let me know your comments.
