A Two-Ingredient Eggsperiment

I do most of the meal prep at home, so I'm always looking for new and interesting cooking techniques. When I came across José Andrés' two-ingredient omelet recipe (shown prepped by him here on TikTok), I literally dropped what I was doing (which was, um, messing around on the Internet) and tried it: one egg, one tablespoon of mayo, whisk, pour in a buttered dish, microwave about 40 seconds.

Thus, less than three minutes after seeing the recipe, I was eating the recipe.

It was really amazing! It certainly punched above its weight class as far as how much work it took (almost none!) compared with how much flavor it had (lots!).

If you prefer text over video and do an Internet search for "two-ingredient omelet," you'll see a number of articles commenting on the recipe. Here's one from Women's World almost at random. I agree with them that the base is easy enough, but it can benefit from toppings or extra bits. (I added some fake-bacon bits to mine the second time I made it.)

To tie this into gaming: It's a full near-meal that can be prepped in a couple of minutes, making it perfect for a mid-game break. Being quite affordable, you'll have more money for games! And, as French food, it's perfect as a snack, because – to the French – one egg is definitely un œuf.
