Hawaiian Eggs are basically stuffed Omelet layered over yummiest Spanish Rice with Cilantro-Jalapeno Salsa on the side. This is an amazing twist to the usual boring egg breakfast.
I'm not a fan of Eggs, but this recipe of Hawaiian Eggs I can eat any day of the week. It has all the flavors you need to make the dish extraordinary. Being an Indian, I like food full of masala/flavors, and this dish has those in each and every bite.
I have eaten many varieties of eggs but this recipe holds a special place in my heart. After coming back from my trip from Kauai, I tried this recipe a couple of times. And after so many trials & errors, I was able to master the recipe. If you don't want to eat egg, you can still enjoy the recipe by replacing Omelete with Vegan Crepe.
HOW I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT HAWAIIAN STUFFED OMELET
Back in 2014, we traveled to Kauai. It was my first Hawaii trip, so I was very excited. The first morning, we went for a walk along the beach and found a small restaurant in the nearby marketplace. This is where I discovered this dish and it tasted amazing! After that, it became our breakfast tradition to order this dish every day. I knew I had to try this at home. So I spoke to the chef and got a partial recipe. After some experiments, I was able to create a mostly similar dish.
HOW TO MAKE LAYERED STUFFED OMELET
This is not a hard recipe. It's just made in three parts: Omelete, Rice,
TIPS TO REMEMBER
- First you can make the sauce and let it sit until you prepare rest of the things. Just like dressing, the sauce taste gets elevated when you let it sit for few minutes. This is an amazing sauce and tastes so good that you can store in refrigerator and use it as a spread too.
- In sauce you can add red chili flakes too instead of jalapeno to make it spicy.
- For Spanish Rice, you make the spice-mix at home or use a store bought one. Use minimal ingredients as the main flavor comes from the omelet.
- In omelet you can add any stuffing you life. I add lots of veggies in my omelet and tastes fabulous.
- As it will be stuffed omelet so try to main omelet as thin as possible and simple in flavor.
