Omelet Making Tip
Egg Safety

Always wash your hands thoroughly after preparing different foods, when eggs are being used to avoid spreading possible bacteria (cross contamination).


Omelet Making Tip
Onion

Yellow, white and red onions are considered pungent onions and a good choice here. The papery skin should be removed and discarded before dicing. The root end of these onions can be left on to aid in holding the onion together while dicing, but should also be discarded.
