How to make Rendang Omelette:
Prepare the Rendang Filling:If using leftover rendang, warm it up in a pan. Stir in coconut milk if desired for extra creaminess, and season with salt to taste.
Make the Omelette Mixture:In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or water, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Cook the Omelette:Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for a minute, allowing the edges to set.
Add the Filling:Once the edges start to firm up, spoon the warm rendang filling onto one half of the omelette. Cook for another minute or until the eggs are fully set.
Fold and Serve:Carefully fold the omelette over the filling and slide it onto a plate. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro.
Enjoy:Serve hot as a hearty breakfast or brunch option!
Recipe Notes:
Rendang Filling: Use leftover beef rendang or prepare a fresh batch. Adding a tablespoon of coconut milk can enhance the creaminess of the filling.
Egg Mixture: Whisking the eggs with a bit of milk or water ensures a fluffier omelette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking Tip: Cook the omelette over medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the eggs are fully set.
Serving Suggestions: Pair the omelette with toasted bread, steamed rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Vegetarian Option: Substitute the beef rendang with a plant-based rendang or sautéed vegetables for a vegetarian-friendly version.
