Eating an omelet is a great way to start the day.A simple tuna omelet can be made in a few minutes.There are lots of ways to make a tuna egg omelet, so try some of the variations or come up with your own.
Step 1: Get your pan ready.
Add a small amount of cooking oil to the pan.It should be warm over medium heat.The oil in your pan will start to smoke if you let it get so hot.The pan is ready when the oil shimmers and covers the surface.A small amount of butter can also be used.Don't let butter turn brown if you use it.You can add a burnt taste to your omelet.
Step 2: Prepare tuna.
Open 2 cans of tuna.Sprinkle a small amount of salt and pepper on the tuna to make it taste better.The bowl should be set aside.Cans of tuna can be used in oil or water.If you want to get the most out of your tuna, choose tuna packed in water.When tuna is packed in oil, the oil mixes with the tuna's natural fat, so when you drain oil-packed tuna, some of it goes down the drain.Water packed tuna won't affect Omega 3.The oil-packed tuna will give you a richer tasting tuna.You can add your own seasonings and oil to the tuna and you won't have to worry about missing out on Omega-3s.
Step 3: Prepare the eggs.
Eggs can be cracked into a bowl.Depending on the size of the omelet you want to use between 2 and 4 eggs.Set the bowl aside and use a fork or egg whisk to beat your eggs.You can use the whole egg or the egg whites.Whole eggs are healthier for you.The location of the eggs is more important than anything else.Eggs from chickens that are roaming around eating plants and insects are the best.There are organic eggs from cage-free chickens.Combine whole eggs with egg whites to cut down on fat and cholesterol if you are concerned about high calories and high cholesterol.If you want to make an extra fluffy omelet, add a splash of milk to your egg mixture and whisk it in.
Step 4: Start with an omelet.
Reduce the heat to medium-low when you put your eggs in the pan.The edges of your eggs will start to bubble after about a minute.To peel up the edge, use a rubber spatula and check the bottom for firmness and color.If the omelet is pale yellow, cook it until it starts to turn golden-brown.
Step 5: Add the fish.
The tuna should be distributed evenly on the surface of the egg omelet.Try not to get large chunks of tuna.It might be difficult to fold your omelet later.If you want to cover your tuna later, you can put it on one side of the omelet and flip it to the other side.
Step 6: Place your eggs over the folded ones.
Lift one side of the egg and fold it over.If you want to fold the egg over itself, place your spatula at one edge of the omelet.If you have added all your tuna to one side, fold over the other side to cover it.
Step 7: You should finish your omelet.
After your omelet has set, cook it until the underside is firm, golden brown, and crisp.Don't overcook your omelet.This can cause it to dry out.

Step 10: Put your tuna in a container.
After adding a dash of salt and pepper, try some diced garlic, chili powder, parsley, chive, or anything else you'd like.Don't let your tuna get too spicy or salty.If you are experimenting with seasonings, add them in small amounts and taste them.
