I know that the 1,974th post is an odd number post to celebrate, but I have a few reasons. I was born in December 1974 + my first grail score & first major restoration project was a ‘74-‘75 Gourmet. This is the kettle that really got me hooked!!!
I’ve been relatively silent in the WKC for a tad over a week, waiting to get the chance to connect the 1974 dots. So, this morning was the perfect opportunity. Decided to make omelettes on my “birth year” Gourmet, using a Gourmet grate & skillet.
My wife has developed an intolerance to dairy recently, so I didn’t want to use butter on the skillet, or milk in the egg mixture. In place of butter, I used avocado oil on the skillet. In place of milk, I used San Pellegrino (sparkling water) in the egg mixture. To my pleasant surprise, those two substitutions are actually game changers for omelettes on the grill. These were the lightest, fluffiest eggs I’ve ever had come off a grill/campfire.
Loaded the omelettes up with crumbled bacon, diced ham, bell pepper, onion, tomato, colby jack cheese, and part skim mozzarella. Mozzarella may sound odd, but you’ll thank me if you try it. My wife got fake cheese in her’s[emoji15].
My plating techniques can use some work, but I’ll get better. Topped with sliced grape tomato & fresh cilantro. Had some tomatillo/avocado salsa on the side (my drizzle technique needs serious work[emoji36]). This is the worst looking of the four, but the only one I took a pic of with a proper background. Apparently, my pic techniques need some work too[emoji23].
Can’t forget the obligatory “blush” pic:
