BKaF – Brad Kovach and Friends

This week, I’m going to show you a creation of mine. The Manlette. You may look at the pictures further down and say, “It looks like you just screwed up making a regular omelette!”

But this is not the case. Seriously.

Step 1: Grab you some ingredients. Use whatever you want, it’s pretty much impossible to ruin a Manlette. Unless you put capers. Nasty. My personal favorites are cheddar cheese, feta cheese, red bell pepper, and tomato. Typical omelets and Manlettes use three eggs, you can go with more, but it can be dangerous. For your eggs, beat them up with a teenie bit of milk for added fluff–I mean manliness.

Step 2: Get your pan out, and melt a bit of butter in it. Never mind how nasty mine looks, I was production-lining these bad boys. It’s better to use a circular pan, but ours was AWOL. Set this up to medium-high heat.

Step 3: Pour the egg into the pan.

Step 4: Cover with a glass cover or a plate if you don’t have a glass cover. This cooks the other side of the omelette. Real men don’t get salmonella.

Step 5: Once the omelette is cooked looking, put your ingredients in. Now, this is where the Manlette differs. We are not making namby-pamby picturesque IHOP omelettes. This omelette’s going to look like it went through the meat grinder. Normal omelettes you try to put fewer ingredients in, so the likelihood of it staying together is higher. Not so with the Manlette. Put as much as possible. C’mon, you know you want to.

Step 6: Flip it over to cover it open. Make sure you break it. This is important.

Step 7: Eat.

Keep in mind that this is an original recipe, it didn’t just happen because I only took pictures of the crappy omelette I made. It was all intentional.
