surviving on food from nowhere: spanish open omelette

i woke up late and still very sleepy. i need to prepare packed lunch for my hunny. i again did my routine of rummaging through the ref and found various small food items around. it seems that these are enough to make a good omelette. but time is not on my side, this omelette needs an adjustment applying a technique to cook everything fast ... the egg is mixed together with the filling!

spanish open omelette

2 eggs
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 stalk leeks, sliced thinly and diagonally
1 small tomato, chopped in chunks
1 half bell pepper, chopped in chunks
3 hotdogs, chunky sliced diagonally
oil, salt and pepper to taste

in a wide pan, drizzle oil around. on one side of the pan to where most of the oil settled, place the chopped garlic. on the other parts of the pan, arrange and place the chopped leeks, chopped hotdogs, chopped bell pepper and chopped tomatoes.

do not mix them together. make sure that each ingredient has its own territorial place in the pan. arrange the ingredients in such a way that all of them is touching the hot pan. allow the pan to heat through the ingredients without mixing them together.

when the garlic is golden brown, mix now the ingredients together. in the mean time, lightly beat the two eggs together adding about 2 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt. add a little more water if you want the eggs to be fluffier. milk is a good substitute for water. but i have none, so i stick with plain water.

back to the pan, gently pour the lightly beaten egg evenly around covering the bottom of the pan. swirl the pan to let the eggs distribute nicely. cook for a minute or two until the eggs are done.

easy and fast. now we have lunch for today. prepared in just 10 minutes.
