The microwave ricotta omelette is a light and quick second course, based on ricotta and eggs. Like the microwave rice omelette, or the zucchini omelette, this recipe also uses the combined function of microwaves plus grill. This will allow us to have a nice golden omelette in the microwave, even on the surface. I find it very convenient not to have to watch and flip the omelette, in addition to having a light omelette, because unlike the frying pan, to cook the omelette in the microwave, just brush the pan with a little oil. Many of you ask me how to make pancakes in the microwave, I find it simpler to pour the mixture into a baking dish, cook it, and then cut it into cubes. Do you agree with me?
