A completely foolproof omelette that steams to perfection on your mat, with barely any washing up.
This foolproof steamed omelette is made in the Thermomix in about 25 minutes with just five ingredients, and the recipe serves 2.
After years of cooking in the Thermomix, I always felt the Varoma could do more than plain steaming, especially for dishes with sauces, marinades and eggs. This omelette is one of the recipes that proves it: the eggs and veggies steam together into omelette perfection, it's completely foolproof, and it's got me using my machine even more (which I didn't think was possible!).
The hero here is our Silicone Steaming Mat for Varoma. It holds the egg mixture in place while the steam circulates, so the omelette cooks gently and evenly without ever touching the blades. Once you've got one, you'll wonder how you ever steamed without it.

Method
Fill TC bowl with 500ml water. Place the lid on and top with the steaming tray / Varoma. Position the Silicone Steaming Mat on the upper steaming tray. Spread the veggies out evenly across the Mat.
In a small bowl or jug, roughly whisk together the eggs, salt and cream/milk/water (a fork is fine). Pour over the vegetables and sprinkle with the grated cheese.

To serve
Lovely on a crusty slice of homemade sourdough. You've only got the Steaming Mat and a small jug to wash; the machine and Varoma just need drying.
