Omelet Making Tip
Tomato

Plum tomatoes are small tomatoes, and are generally not too juicy. The tomato can be chopped or diced. Like any tomato if stored improperly they can become quite mealy. Store Plum tomatoes in a cool, dry location in a paper bag.


Omelet Making Tip
Sour Cream

Sour cream is made from bacteria culture introduced to cream. The culture provides the tangy taste. Sour cream can be found with other dairy products in 8 and 16 ounces sizes.
