Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2–3 large fresh eggs (preferably at room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional)

Fillings of Choice (optional)

  • Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, feta, or your preference)
  • Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill, basil)
  • Vegetables (spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms)
  • Meats (diced ham, smoked salmon, crispy bacon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and prepare all your fillings by chopping vegetables or grating cheese. Whisk the eggs thoroughly with salt, pepper, and milk or cream (if using) until pale and slightly frothy for a fluffy texture.
  2. Heat Your Pan: Use a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Let the fat melt and coat the pan evenly, warming it just enough without browning.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, tilting it to spread evenly. Let the eggs set on the bottom while gently lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  4. Add Fillings: When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny on top, add your chosen fillings evenly across half of the omelette.
  5. Fold and Finish: Carefully fold the omelette in half with a spatula, then cook for another 30 seconds to a minute to melt cheese or warm fillings through.
  6. Serve Immediately: Slide your omelette onto a plate, garnish as desired, and enjoy the perfect balance of fluffy eggs and flavorful fillings.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for lighter texture.
  • Cook on low to medium heat to avoid dryness and over-browning.
  • A non-stick pan makes folding easier and prevents sticking.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent the omelette from breaking.
  • Use the freshest ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Experiment with different fats like butter or olive oil for richness or a healthier touch.
