How to Make An Omelette

A simple method for making a classic omelette: whisk eggs, cook gently in a nonstick skillet, add fillings, fold, and serve.

Total Time 10 minutes
Servings: 1 servings

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Butter or extra-virgin olive oil for the pan
  • Desired fillings find suggestions in the blog post above

Equipment

  • 8-inch Nonstick Fry Pan
  • Silicone spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Crack 2 large eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until yolks and whites are well combined. Season the eggs with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  2. Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until warm. Add butter or extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom.
  3. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and immediately reduce the heat to medium-low.
  4. Cook without stirring until the edges just begin to set, about 10 seconds.
  5. Working around the edges with a spatula, gently push the cooked egg toward the center so uncooked egg flows to the outside; tilt the pan as needed. Repeat until the uncooked egg thickens and the omelette forms an even layer.
  6. When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly soft on top, add your desired fillings on one half.
  7. Fold the other half of the omelette over the fillings and cook until the eggs are just set.
  8. Remove the omelette from the heat, adjust seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired, and serve.
