What are you having for breakfast?

Gave it a shot this morning. I separated the whites and yolks from two eggs, whipped up the whites to a firm froth then folded the yolks in before making a frothy omelette. Came unstuck when I tried to flip it though so looked a bit of a mess. Placed that on top of my porridge and tucked in. Different! Definitely filling though.

I wondered what a frothy omelette was! But I get it now. It's what Delia calls a soufflé omelette. I like mine with damson jam. I have to say the porridge and omelette combo sounds quite weird.

I call that 'a blown up omelette'. The trapped air, expands during the cooking.

Doesn't Delia use fresh cream?? Disciple of Escoffier on scrambled eggs iirc from student days.
I just use a little cordless whisk on a single Extra large egg (these things can be monsters because there's no upper weight limit on the category, so they can be 110g). A spot of milk - not too much - makes them froth up more . One necessary thing, I think with all pans, is a lid. The one-egg pan is tiny and without one, only 12cm or so across, so I put an oversize lid rather crookedly over it. The gas flames go up the side of the pan and inside the lid, so the top gets some cooking. I end up with a muffin shaped thing
Yes I thought it would be odd, but a slightly salty herby egg, sharing the spoon with the porridge, goes down well for me. Decent nutritionally too, I think. It's bulk with protein and Vit D without adding carby fatty toast and butter.
I have tried a few blueberries in the porridge, which is usually fine, but does not work with the egg!

Are those noodles in the box?

lol. No. The cottage owner left us that box with eggs, cakes, bread, wine and a few other bits as a welcome gift.

That sounds rank.

Does it work ?

Yes, most definitely.

You can certainly tell from the colour those eggs weren't bought in a shop.

Actually, they were from a box of a dozen standard large eggs that I bought from Lidl and brought down with us. I was surprised at the colour too. Sometimes you get a surprise with Lidl standard eggs - sometimes they are white shelled which is unusual these days. The cottage owner left us half a dozen eggs in the welcome pack. They have hens and I thought they would be their own but they were date stamped!

Before I stopped working I had several customers who kept chickens so I had a good supply of eggs, always with that dark yolk like yours. Ones we buy in shops, even ones that claim to be free range are always much paler.
