Here is an easy way to make an omelette:
- Whisk 2 or 3 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture is frothy.
- Heat about ½ tablespoon of butter or oil in an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, tilting it to spread the eggs evenly.
- Cook slowly on low heat until the edges begin to set but the top is still slightly wet.
- Use a spatula to gently lift the edges, letting uncooked eggs flow underneath.
- Once almost set (around 2-3 minutes), add cheese or fillings on one half.
- Fold the other half over the fillings and slide the omelette onto a plate.
- Serve immediately while warm.
This method delivers a soft, fluffy omelette quickly and easily. Popular fillings include cheese, sautéed vegetables, ham, mushrooms, or fresh herbs. The key is cooking low and slow to avoid browning or overcooking the eggs.
