  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 omelette 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 2 to 3 fresh eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Cooking Fat

  • 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil for dairy-free version)

Fillings (optional)

  • Cheese (cheddar, feta, goat cheese, or mozzarella), grated or crumbled
  • Vegetables (mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers), chopped
  • Meats (ham, bacon, smoked salmon), cooked and chopped
  • Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop all fillings, grate cheese, and measure seasonings. Beat eggs gently with salt, pepper, and optional milk or cream until combined but not frothy.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and melt butter, ensuring a moderate temperature to cook the eggs evenly without browning too fast.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula in small circles, pushing cooked edges toward the center while letting uncooked eggs flow underneath.
  4. Add Fillings: When eggs are mostly set but slightly wet on top, evenly sprinkle your chosen fillings over one half of the omelette.
  5. Fold and Finish: Carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings using a spatula. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until cheese melts and eggs are fully set but tender.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best texture and flavor.
  • Cook on medium-low heat to avoid browning and maintain fluffiness.
  • Beat eggs gently; overbeating can cause rubbery texture.
  • Use a high-quality non-stick pan for easier folding and flipping.
  • Add fillings when eggs are mostly set to prevent sogginess.
  • Butter adds flavor and color, while oil helps prevent burning at higher heat.
