Why Do I Despise the Taste of Eggs!????
I’ve never had a fondness for the taste of eggs. On weekends, my mom would prepare eggs for the family, each person’s order customized. The aroma was enticing, occasionally luring me into considering giving eggs another chance. Yet, time and again, the reality fell short; the tantalizing scent didn’t translate into flavor, leaving me disappointed by the blandness of the dish.
Years have passed since I last entertained the thought of eggs as remotely appealing. It was during a viewing of Season 2, Episode 9 of “The Bear” that a transformative moment occurred. In the episode, Sydney (portrayed by Ayo Edebiri) crafts an omelet for Natalie (played by Abby Elliot), the process unfolding in a mesmerizing 2-minute ASMR dream sequence. Inspired by this scene, I resolved to create a vegan iteration of the tantalizing omelet.
How to Make a Vegan Omelet?
Initially, I anticipated challenges in replicating the texture of a traditional omelet with vegan ingredients. However, I discovered that the fluffy consistency of a vegan omelet offered a more substantial base than its egg counterpart, rendering it an ideal canvas for a boursin cheese filling. The primary hurdle lay in sourcing vegan sour cream and onion potato chips, which I eventually crafted myself. Fortunately, Trader Joe’s offered a vegan boursin cheese, streamlining the recipe, though those inclined to homemade options could explore Spabettie’s recipe.
Through experimenting with various vegan omelet recipes, I’ve learned that chickpea (garbanzo) flour and a non-stick skillet are paramount to success. Unlike traditional egg omelets, the vegan counterpart resembles more of a batter, with a texture reminiscent of crepes. I prefer preparing the vegan omelet batter in advance, storing it in a large glass measuring cup covered with a lid or plastic wrap. When morning arrives, I retrieve it from the fridge, allowing it to reach room temperature while I prepare my fillings and toppings.
