How to Make an Omelette (Omelet)
Report
Making an omelette is easy but requires technique. Here's our process for the perfect omelette.
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 ½ tbsp water never use milk or cream for omelettes
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 30 gr butter
Instructions
- Break the eggs into a bowl & beat with a fork, as soon as it’s well mixed, add the water and the seasoning (don’t make your omelette mixture & go and have a long telephone conversation, mix the eggs just before you’re going to cook them)
- Heat the pan to medium, add the butter and heat until just frothing and pour in the egg mixture in one go.
- Wait for 10 – 15 seconds before stirring it around slowly with the flat of your fork (or whatever you’re using that’s flat).
- Do this once or twice for the next 5 – 6 seconds and then lift up the edge of the omelette to let the rest of the raw egg run down onto the hot pan.
- Tilt the pan away from you & fold over the omelette to the far side.
- For the next bit, my mom said to change the way you hold the pan here so that the handle ran up the palm of my hand before taking a slightly warmed plate in the other hand & tipping the omelette on that.
- I don’t do that anymore, I just flip the plate on top of the pan, whip it around & hope for the best; somehow it always works out but I suggest each of you work out your own way or use my mom’s method.
- Fillings: you can really fill with anything you like: herbs, cheese, mushrooms, potatoes, bacon – whatever but it’s vital that the filling is warm & cooked because it’s not going to spend much time cooking in the egg mixture.
- The filling is spread across the omelette before folding it over and then sliding it off the pan.
