There Will Be Cake [Tuesday, Period Three]
The kitchen was back to normal this week, but the class might have noticed that there were quite a few cartons of eggs set up on the benches. Also a number of potatoes.
"Good afternoon, class," Bond began. "Today we'll be tackling two dishes that once you have the fundamentals down of, allow for almost endless variations. The omelette and the frittata."
"At its heart, the omelette is a very simple dish, beaten eggs quickly cooked in a pan over high heat, with fillings added near the end of cooking, however it does need a careful hand when cooking it, else you'll end up with a basic scrambled egg instead. Still edible, just less attractive to look at. So if I may have your attention I'll demonstrate the correct technique."
Once Bond had finished his demonstration, he continued. "Now the frittata is like the omelette in that it's an egg based dish cooked in a pan, but it also differs in that you start with a few more base ingredients, usually potatoes and onion, and in how it's cooked, first on the stove over low heat to set the base, then finished either in the oven or under the grill."
"Now, for today's class I'd like you to make both an omelette and a frittata according to the base recipes I've given you, but those of you who feel confident in the basic techniques may also experiment with adding in extra fillings to either."
