Re: Whats For Supper?
Yep, I've always added water, was taught that way, but the other day heard someone on tv adding cream, so thought I'd try it out.
Ruddy good idea, tasted terrific!

Omelettes with cream - mmmm, sounds lovely. I was taught to add a splash of milk to the eggs, but will try some cream next time!!
Tonight we're having some delicious pot-roast beef brisket, with roasted Brussels sprouts and braised cabbage - nice and warming as the temperature has plummeted again here. I think for pudding I'll make some date and walnut muffins with whipped cream ![]()

Re: Whats For Supper?
There is no hope left in the world when a 3 egg omelette becomes a 3 egg and a bit of water omelette...
IMHO
Now a little dollop of cream... ![]()

Re: Whats For Supper?
it works well none the less .. the water added is insurance against losing too much moisture from the eggs while cooking. Also the lethicin in 1 egg yolk can support up to about 1 tablespoon (US) 15 ml for those who are agin spoon/cup measures( Minnie
) in emulsion of water or better yet milk or cream.

Sounds delish, Joobes.
I had leftovers from my daughter's birthday meal.
