Instructions
- 1
Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Beat with a fork until yolks and whites are fully blended and slightly frothy.
Tip: No milk or water needed - well-beaten eggs are all an omelette takes.
- 2
Melt 15 g of butter in a small non-stick pan over medium-low heat until it foams. Swirl to coat the whole surface.
- 3
Pour in the eggs. Let them set 20 seconds, then gently pull the edges toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan so runny egg fills the gaps.
Tip: Low and slow is the secret - high heat makes eggs rubbery and brown.
- 4
When the top is mostly set but still slightly glossy, sprinkle 50 g of cheese over one half.
- 5
Fold the empty half over the cheese and slide the omelette onto a plate. Wait 30 seconds - the residual heat melts the cheese.
Cooking methods
On the stove
Small non-stick pan on medium-low gas. The flame gives instant control - lower it the moment the eggs set faster than you can pull the edges in.
On induction
Level 3-4. Induction’s gentle, even heat is ideal for omelettes - switch off early and let residual heat finish the top.
Over an open fire
Small cast iron pan over dying embers, never open flame. Move the pan off the heat as soon as the eggs begin to set.
