How to Make an Omelette
Description
The omelette starts with beating eggs mixed with water to help create a tender texture. Cooking over medium heat in a non-stick skillet with butter or olive oil allows the eggs to gently set around the edges while the center remains slightly soft. The technique of pushing cooked portions toward the center encourages even cooking without browning.
When the eggs are nearly set, fillings like spinach, onion, and cheddar cheese are added to one half. Folding the omelette seals in the fillings and finishes the cooking process, creating a warm and flavorful pocket with melted cheese and softened vegetables.
This preparation suits various fillings and dietary preferences, making it a versatile dish for breakfast, brunch, or a quick meal. It keeps well refrigerated for up to three days and reheats easily in a microwave.
Ingredients
- 2-3 egg
- 1-2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Pinch salt
- baby spinach or fillings of choice
- red onion
- cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Crack and beat eggs with water in a small bowl.
- Heat oil or butter over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet. Pour in egg mixture. As eggs set around the edge of the skillet, with spatula, gently push cooked portions toward the center of the skillet. Tilt and rotate skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow into empty spaces.
- When eggs are almost set, add filling to half of the omelette, place a spatula under the un-filled half and fold over.
Notes
- Cooked omelettes store well in the refrigerator for up to three days and can be reheated in the microwave.
- Adjust fillings to your liking; this method works with various vegetables and cheeses.
