 | Whitebait Omelette RecipeWhitebait are very small silvery fish from coastal areas of the Pacific Ocean. They are cooked and eaten whole as a delicacy. Perhaps better known are Whitebait Fritters, when mixed in a batter containing flour, but personally I prefer an omelette!
In a small bowl whisk together the egg and milk, add a little salt and pepper if you desire and stir in the whitebait. Heat a well seasoned omelette pan or small non-stick pan and add the butter when the pan is hot. The butter should sizzle and froth but not burn. Pour in the egg mixture and gently move the egg around a little with a fork. Lift the edges to let the uncooked egg run underneath. When the egg has nearly set and the whitebait is cooked - it will turn from clear to white, turn over and cook for another 30 seconds. Serve with fresh bread and salad if desired. Makes 1 large omelette. All content and images copyright © 1998 - 2008 Cuisine du Monde |
