6 Steamed Fish Omelet Recipe 

This richly flavorful and savory dish is an interesting omelet. A fish fillet seasoned with chili garlic paste is left whole in this omelet but that's not all. The fish is placed in a llanera, the same container you use for your leche flan, and eggs and coconut milk mix is poured over it. Just like leche flan, cover this and steam it until cooked through.

7 Steak Omelet Recipe 

Take a detour from your usual steak and eggs meal to make this instead. If you have ever had that precious egg yolk break when making your usual sunny-side up fried eggs, this is a great way to salvage that egg instead of reaching for another egg. Transform that egg into an omelet and stuff succulent slices of your steak inside. Easy fix!
