Cheesy Omelette

And then there are days I'd wake up hungrier than usual for no apparent reason. I'd be staring half-heartedly at the cereal box and chocolate malt drink.

Typical Malaysian breakfasts would flash across my mind - nasi lemak (coconut milk rice with spicy anchovies) , roti canai (a local flatbread served with curry), fried noodles and the sort!

I started dreaming about Eve's cheesy omelette. Pretty sure I was still undecided when it dawned on me that I was already whisking a couple of eggs. How did that happen....

Eve's version is made with a ton of yummy ingredients - onions, ham, mushrooms. I made something to satisfy the rumbling tummy that had growled me into submission.

Cheesy Omelette

This is what I had for breakfast in the end, a fuss-free cheesy omelette.

Ingredients:
- Two eggs
- 1 stalk spring onion (chopped)
- 1 pc cheese slice (smokey bbq flavour)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cooking oil

Cheesy Omelette In The Pan

How-to: 
1) Beat two eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir in chopped spring onions.

2) Heat oil in pan. Pour egg mixture into pan. Wait for the egg to solidify a little.

3) Place cheese in the center. Once it begins to melt, fold (not necessarily in half) and turn. Should be done in seconds. Lift and serve.

Note: Serve garnished with spring onions if you like.

Egg and Mushrooms on Toast

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I'm no peanut butter and jam girl so making breakfast always requires a little more effort. You wouldn't want to be me if you're always rushing off for work early mornings.

Of course, there's always wonton noodles at that hawker stall round the corner or roti canai from my favourite mamak to save the day. How typically Asian of me!

My ideal b-r-e-a-k-f-a-s-t would be this:

A Toast to Captivating Breakfast

How I did it, roughly...

Ingredients:
- 1 piece of bread
- 1 medium red onion (sliced)
- 4 fresh white button mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 small egg
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp dark sweet soy sauce
- Pinch of table salt and pepper
- Bacon bits (optional)
- Cooking oil

How-to:
1. Heat oil in cooking pan. Add onions and mushrooms. Add oyster sauce and sweet soy sauce (and a little water if too dry). Do a quick stir-fry, making sure all the ingredients are coated with sauce. Remove from pan and leave to cool.

2. Lightly toast bread in a toaster. Then, place it on a baking tray. Arrange cooked onions and mushroom in a circle on the toasted bread making a small wall, leaving space in the middle for the egg. Crack egg onto the middle of the toast.

3. Bake this in a pre-heated oven for about 10 minutes at 180C or less (I would watch the oven).

4. To serve, sprinkle salt and pepper on egg. I added bacon bits because I felt like having some.
