Tasty tofu omelet
Oct. 9th, 2009 11:04 amI was short one egg this morning. I normally have a plain three-egg omelet cooked in olive oil and doused with Tabasco. So here's what I did instead:
Took two fairly thin slices of tofu, wrapped them with paper towel, and set a plate on top to press out some of the moisture.
Sliced one of my windowsill tomatoes as thin as I could.
Took a generous sprig of basil and cut the leaves into small bits with my kitchen shears.
Beat up the two eggs and cooked as usual, in olive oil, flipping the entire thing.
Then I put the tofu slices on one side of the omelet, the tomato slices on the other, sprinkled basil, ground a little black pepper over all, covered the pan with a lid, turned off the heat, and cleaned up the cutting board etc.
I slid onto a plate, folding one side of the omelet over, and doused with Tabasco as usual.
The tofu looked enough like mozzarella and was accompanied by enough buffalo mozzarella salad flavors that I barely noticed that it wasn't. Go me.
