How Alex Guarnaschelli Adds 'Personality' To Her Omelets

Guarnschelli's omelet addition of choice is documented in her recipe for an Omelet with Fines Herbs (via Food Network), although the versatility of her go-to additions means you could likely incorporate them with whatever omelet variation you want to make.

In order to add some zing to her omelets, Guarnaschelli starts by incorporating a bit of heat with a few drops of hot sauce into her lightly whisked egg mixture. That particular addition is one that many can likely get behind. In a Reddit thread within the /Cooking subreddit, a poster asked for recommendations for everyone's favorite hot sauce to use with eggs, and the simple query received 161 comments with various recommendations that the respondents felt worked best. Guarnaschelli doesn't recommend any particular brand, so you can add whichever hot sauce you prefer — and, she simply suggests adding it to taste, so you can also adjust the amount based on whether you love a ton of spice or just a hint of heat.

Guarnaschelli also adds some depth of flavor to her omelets with a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, also to taste. And, finally, she finishes things off with salt to really enhance all the flavors in the omelet. Simple yet delicious.

And, if you've nailed the flavor but can't quite get the texture right, she has another tip. Guarnaschelli suggests adding a splash of water to your whisked egg mixture in order to get a perfectly fluffy texture.
