EMU Omelet
Ingredients
- 1 Emu Egg
- Heavy Whipping Cream (1/2 cup – estimate)
- 1 medium chopped onion
- 1/2 Mushroom package
- 1/2 cup of Goat Butter (maybe a tad more)
- 8oz bag of shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 diced garlic cloves (1/4 cup)
- 1/2 pound chopped Ham
- 2 chopped Tomatoes
- 1 large russet potato
- Gumbo Daddy’s Cajun Seasonings
- Dan Pastorini’s Garlic and Herb Seasonings
- Special Shit Seasonings (yes, that is the correct spice name) (Egg only)
- Jacobsen Chili Salt (Potato only)
Directions
- Crack emu egg into a large bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (want a thick mixture) & whisk.
- Add seasonings and whisk See Note 1
- In a large frying pan (really a large one), add 1/4 cup butter (maybe more) and melt.
- Sauteé onion, garlic, tomato, mushrooms, and ham.
- Once the onions are translucent or mushrooms are soft, lower the heat add the egg mixture. Lightly mix the eggs and other ingredients. See Note 2
- Use a low heat, cover the frying pan and let the egg cook. Check at 8-10 minutes.
- When you check the egg, if it is mostly cooked, add the shredded cheese on top of egg, cover and let cook 3-5 more minutes. See Note 3
- Egg is cooked when the egg is no longer runny.
EMU EGG:
Note 1: Nonna used her favorite spices. However, you can use you favorite spices. Adding tabasco sauce or salt and pepper would likely make for a delicious omelet.
Note 2: Nonna put her gas stove on “2”. You most certainly want a low heat.
Note 3: Nonna checked the egg at 10 mins. It was mostly cooked with just a little uncooked egg on top. She then added the cheese on top, covered the pan and cooked for an additional 5 mins. The total cook time was 15 minutes.
Directions
- Poke the russet potato with a fork several times on all sides.
- Cook the potato in the microwave on high for 2-4 minutes (depends on how big the potato is).
- When the microwave beeps, roll the potato over and cook for 2-4 minutes (depends on how big the potato is).
- Slice the potato (how thick is up to you, but 1/4 inch is a good place to start).
- Melt 1/4 cup goat butter in frying pan.
- Place potato slices in the frying pan and season. See Note 4
- When the potato slices are golden brown, flip them and season the other side. See Note 4
- When the second side of the potato slices are golden brown, removed the potatoes from the heat and eat.
FRIED POTATO
Note 4: Again, Nonna used her favorite seasonings. For the potatoes, she added Jacobsen Chili Salt to give them some kick!
