Good Point. If you like it that way, then that's the way to do it!
Sorry, I mis-read your post as asking for a folding technique when you
were just stating what worked well for you. Certainly not a food snob
here. I don't have an "omlet pan". I just looked for a cheap,
non-stick pan of the size I needed with sides that weren't too steep.
If I had sprung (?) for a better pan, I would have gotten one with a
metal handle so I could stick it under the broiler to melt more cheese
on top. But then, isn't that a waste of time to get the same result
you get?

My "real" omelet pan is cast iron and I don't need any more
cheese than I put inside the omelet.

<grins> It's ok...
I was just sharing something that I thought was neat for people like me
that like easy stuff!

I just brought 2 fresh emu eggs in out of the emu pen tonight! Yay!

Will have emu egg omelet in the morning after I drain one of them. :-)

Tends to cook up a bit fluffier than chicken or duck egg.

If anyone in the Austin/San Antonio area wants to try fresh emu eggs,
e-mail me! I don't plan to let Oberon set this year. He hatched 3 chicks
last year and I sold them to the local feed store, but he wasted at
least another dozen eggs that did not hatch and I sell the cleaned empty
shells on ebay.

I like LOTS and LOTS of cheese on mine! :-)
Melted over the top is an attractive presentation as well.....

He?

I used to raise ducks and geese and both will sit on the
nest to help incubate the eggs. I also know that the male
seahorse gives birth. You make it sound like he also laid
the eggs, am I missing something?

With Emus, the rooster sits the nest and broods the chicks.... :-)
The female just lays the eggs. Oberon has been a good daddy, and Titania
pretty well leaves the chicks alone, but I have seen Oberon hiss at her
and challenge if she approaches a chick out of curiosity.

Same for Rheas.

In Ostriches, both parents share nesting duties.

Neat! Comparatively speaking a duck egg is equal to about
two medium/large chicken eggs, whereas a goose is equal to
about three. Whould I be correct in the assumption that an
Emu egg is equal to at least 6 chicken eggs?

Heh, Oberon and Titania? Great name choices -- add a duck named Puck
and you've got quite the Shakespearean menagerie... :-)

Yes... :-)
They vary in size a little, but it's usually 6 to 8 large chicken eggs.
I made 2 very large omelets this morning using chopped fresh tomato,
avocado and a can of straw mushrooms mixed with some cheddar/jack
cheese, then topped with more jack cheese.

I could only eat about 2/3 of mine, but dad ate ALL of his and the rest
of mine! <lol>

He said he was hungry.......

Emu egg is slightly stronger in flavor than duck egg, but it's lighter
and fluffer in texture, and the yolk to white ratio is higher. It has to
be as gestation is 53 to 60 days!

I dunno, I can actually say some things are too rich for my
taste. Lots of melted cheese in/on an omlet (or pizza)
qualifies.

I could never say that about (good) caviar, though.

Mmmm... darn. Now you've gone and made me hungry! ;-D

Will get caviar for Newyears, even tho' I have to work both New Years
eve and day. I'll be home about 11:30 pm, plenty of time to ring in the
near year right!

I'll probably make a Havarti cheese ball to go with.

Cheese balls are SO easy to make!!! A friend of mine showed me how one
year. She uses them as Christmas gifts.

I might make a jack and green olive one for the folks at work this year.
Serve it with Martinellis sparkling cider.

<grins> It's equal to about 6 to 8 eggs.

I made two omelets out of it, and ate about 2/3 of mine.

Dad ate ALL of his, and the rest of mine! <G>

He said he was just very hungry, but he will stuff himself on stuff I
make if he likes it enough.

Emu egg is a bit stronger in flavor than chicken or duck eggs, but it's
quite good and cooks up lighter and fluffier than either of the other
two.

I drain them carefully thru one hole using either lung power or a small
aquarium pump, then clean, disinfect and dry the clean shells to sell on
ebay.

But, the invitation still stands! If anyone from my area wants to try
one, they can get a fresh egg for the shell price......

Now that they have started, they will lay one every 3 days.

Thank you Katra and Andrew! I've learned quite a bit today. I don't know
that it will benefit me much at work...but one never knows! Perhaps a
client may want to build a custom home for their emus?! : )

You are what you eat. My ducks would often visit the cow
patties and sift through the feces for the undigested grains
thereby turning such into duck and eggs. Like the Emu, it
has a flavor which is a bit gamy, for those unaccustomed to
such eggs, you could soften/dilute it by adding a couple
chicken eggs, which I also raised. Sometimes they wouldn't
make a nest, though my Toulouse geese did nest and my
Chinese Pigtail paid them a call and I had 6 hatched, one on
fortunately drowned in a bucket, but the rest survived till
slaughter.

I only had one "pet", Cleo, short for Cleopatra, I thought
the name fitting as while I was supposed to have all Rhode
Island Reds (with their lovely brown eggs), she was an
Araucana, she laid light blueish green eggs. She of all my
chickens had free roam, while my chickens had their coop and
yard. You NEVER confine a queen do you? :-) Her plumage
was light brownish.
