Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 sheet rice paper
  • Oil for greasing the pan
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Salmon & Avocado Filling

  • 40 grams smoked salmon
  • 40 grams avocado, one eighth sliced
  • Baby spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon hollandaise sauce (optional)

Asian Inspired Filling

  • 40 grams shredded chicken
  • Mung bean sprouts
  • 1 spring onion, finely sliced
  • Chilli oil, for drizzling
  • 1 drizzle hoisin sauce (optional)

Cheese & Chives Filling

  • 2 tablespoons grated cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chives, finely chopped

Mushroom & Bacon Filling

  • 1 rasher streaky bacon, cooked
  • ¼ cup mushrooms, sliced and sautéed
  • ½ tomato, deseeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat your pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk the eggs: In a mixing bowl or jug, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  3. Grease the pan: Lightly brush the heated pan with oil to prevent sticking and help crisp the rice paper.
  4. Place the rice paper: Lay one sheet of rice paper flat on the bottom of the pan.
  5. Pour the egg mixture: Pour the whisked eggs over the rice paper, tilting the pan if needed to ensure even coverage. It’s okay if it’s not perfect; you can spread it gently with the back of a spoon.
  6. Add toppings: Add your preferred toppings evenly across the egg-covered rice paper.
  7. Cook the omelette: Cook until the eggs are set but still soft, and the rice paper underneath has become crispy.
  8. Fold and serve: Use a spatula to carefully fold the omelette in half. Serve immediately and enjoy the beautiful combination of crispy rice paper and flavorful fillings.

Notes

  • You can customize this omelette with various fillings to suit your taste preferences.
  • Ensure the pan is hot and well-oiled to crisp the rice paper properly without tearing it.
  • Cook the bacon and sauté the mushrooms before adding as toppings to ensure they are fully cooked.
  • The optional sauces like hollandaise or hoisin can add extra flavor but are not necessary.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed immediately to preserve the crispiness of the rice paper.
