Panlasang Pinoy Omelet is what I came-up with one morning when I was craving for a great tasting omelet. This recipe is a product of whatever I had in the fridge that day. I think that the addition of the scallions did great in terms of presentation and taste. The bell pepper also made it look and taste perfect.
I like to have my omelet with toast. Sometimes I also eat it with garlic fried rice (sinangag). Adding some banana ketchup and spreading it on top works best for me. Of course, we all have our own way of enjoying our omelet — and that is my regular messy way. I enjoyed every bit of it though.
How do you make your omelet? What do you eat it with. I’d love to hear from you.
