I am Hilah, and today on Hilah Cooking I am going to show you my version of a Texas omelet.

We're going to add some peppers and tomatoes and black beans and a whole bunch of cheese,

and then smother that whole mother in hot sauce.

What you say about that?

I say, good morning to you sir.

[Texas-style Omelette Recipe]

>>Hilah: Okay, I've got all my omelet fillings over here.

It's important when you're making omelets to go ahead and have everything ready because

they cook really, really quickly, and I did a cheese omelet video a while back, and I

think I've gotten a little bit better at omelets since then, so I hope I didn't just

jinx myself, but I've got one egg here.

Okay, so I am going to add a little bit of butter to this skillet, and for some reason

butter works so much better than oil when you're doing omelets.

I don't understand it.

It maybe has to do with the proteins in the butter.

I am going to get his all melty, just swirl it.

I am just going to coat the sides, and I am using an omelet pan here.

You'll see it's like extra slopey sides which helps a lot.

The French did something right I guess huh?

That was a joke I hate the French people.

That was actually a bigger joke.

Okay, not funny.

I don't hate anyone.

I've got my one egg here, and you can do up to two eggs.

One egg is a lot easier to manage, and it's good for one person, so a little S&P there,

and then we pour it in, and swirl it about, and lift up the edges here to get the runny

egg underneath, and remember to turn your heat down a little bit because we're not

trying to get the bottom brown.

We're just trying to set the eggs, so you just do this.

You mess with it a little bit.

There we go.

Get that over there.

Okay, and then when your eggs are almost set like this, you can add some cheese, some beans.

You don't have to make this voice when you do it however.

[laughs]

I am going to do it because I am tired.

Some jalapenos.

Some tomatoes.

[laughs] Sorry.

I am just cracking myself up here, and a little bit of cilantro.

You know what?

You can put whatever you want on it.

You can add ham.

You could add bacon.

Whateves.

Now, that's in there.

I am going to turn my heat off.

Okay.

Flip that, and then if you have a non-skillet skillet, this is a little easier, but it's

obviously totally fine without, and you sort of scooch it out like that.

Ta da!

Told you I got better!

Stay tuned for the outtakes though.

Okay, a little bit of garnish, a little bit of hot sauce!

And time to eat Pete, and that residual heat from the egg on the bottom that's cooked

will cook the rest of the omelet on the inside, so you don't need to worry about that, and

it melts the cheese.

Voila!

Mmmmmm.

Yay!

Protein and fat, and vegetables, and spicy.

I love it!

It's a great breakfast.

There you go.

There's how to make my version of a Texas omelet.

What do you like to put in your omelets?

Leave me a comment below, and I will respond as soon as I can.

Thanks so much for watching.

Have a great week!

[MUSIC]

Damn it!

I cooked it too hot.

It's so hard to do while I am [bleep] narrating myself.

Scooych it on out.

So maybe I haven't gotten that much better.

[bleep].
