Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that the oven is hot and ready for the buns once the batter is prepared.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Stir these wet ingredients until they are fully blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the buns are baking, prepare the omelette. In a medium bowl, crack 4 large eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter to coat the bottom of the pan. Once hot, add the diced vegetables (bell peppers and onions) and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are softened.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
- If desired, you can fold the omelette in half or leave it open-faced. Continue cooking for another minute until the eggs are fully cooked but not dry.
- Once the buns are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve the warm oven buns alongside the freshly made omelette. Enjoy your delicious American-style breakfast!
Tips
- Flour Power: Use fresh, sifted all-purpose flour for the lightest, most tender buns possible.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense buns.
- Vegetable Variety: Feel free to experiment with different vegetable combinations in your omelette. Try mushrooms, spinach, or cherry tomatoes for added flavor and nutrition.
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking the buns to guarantee even cooking and perfect golden-brown tops.
- Skillet Secret: Use a non-stick skillet and keep the heat at medium to prevent the omelette from burning or becoming rubbery.
- Fresh is Best: Serve immediately for the most delicious experience - warm buns and a freshly made omelette are at their peak right out of the oven and pan.
- Customize Your Creation: Add cheese to your omelette, sprinkle herbs on top, or serve with a side of salsa or hot sauce to make this recipe uniquely yours!
