Upside Down Omelette

 

This is what happens when you watch a few food videos and decide to try one. I can't remember where I saw it or who posted it however the premise is to cook an omelette and a tortilla together. Creating one spherical edible delight that can be rolled or cut into pieces. I don't recall what the name for this was or even if there was a name at all so I decided to call it an upside down omelette for now.  

Crack two large eggs into a bowl and whisk together with 2 tablespoons of milk and salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick frypan over medium high heat, add the eggs and when the eggs start to get bubbly and just about cooked through sprinkle with cheese and place a tortilla on top, gently press the tortilla down and let the cheese melt to secure the tortilla in place, then place a plate on top, remove from the heat and very carefully lift the pan, while holding the plate in place, you may need a pot holder as the plate will be warm and turn the frypan upside, carefully release the frypan. With the egg side right side up on the plate gently shift it back into the frypan with the tortilla side down, place the frypan back over the heat, allowing the tortilla, that's now on the bottom, to get nice and crispy golden brown. Once golden brown transfer to a plate and roll it up like a wrap or cut into triangle slices. I did add some thinly sliced red peppers and sprinkle more cheese on top before removing from the frypan and slathered on some barbeque sauce once removed and on a plate. Of course you can sprinkle some veggies, bacon or meat on top of the eggs as they cook and try different cheeses or sauces. Call it what you will... this was a straightforward and satisfying lunch that was worth the effort.
