Clár

I am thinking of making a spanish tonight and keeping it for my dinner 2moro evening after the gym. I think it would be idea dinner post workout. All the recipe's online are made with like 4 eggs and loadsa potatoes. Could you make a decent with 2 eggs and 2 potatoes.

Cheers

Hi Clár,
I live with 2 spanish people - who use no more than 3 eggs + 5-6 large potatoes per omlette . which makes an 1 1/2 inch thick omlette in normal size frying pan and its enough for 4-5 people !

So I think if your using a small frying pan for youyr self no more than 2 eggs should suffice !

What is the trick to making a thick omelette ?

My wife's cooking is great but my little secret is her omelettes
are very fluffly and over-light for my tastes.
I'm guessing her mum made them that way and she has just
adopted the recipe/methodology.

There have been a few evenings here when I've been out
of ingredients yet I've had eggs, ham and mushrooms.
I'd love to surprise her with my own type of omelette
some day. I'd get to enjoy it myself.

Why would an omelette turn out very frothy and lacking
substance ? over-beating of the eggs ?? Lack of butter ?
cooked at too high temperature ? Any food physicists here ?

Too fluffy/dry = whisking too much & adding too much milk & overcooking. You're not supposed to have a homogenous liquid, just the white & yolk loosely muddled together.
