Basic omelette

Making a basic omelette is a quick and delicious way to enjoy a protein-packed meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Here's a guide to help you make the perfect basic omelette.

Ingredients:

4 eggs
200g
1 tbsp butter
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
- Beat the eggs using a fork or a whisk until they are well combined and slightly frothy. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste if you like.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan on medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and let it melt completely. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the melted butter.
3. Cook the Omelette:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the pan.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in the center to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. This helps cook the eggs evenly.
4. Shape the Omelette:
- Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, stop stirring and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the bottom to fully set.
- You can gently shake the pan to ensure the omelette isn’t sticking.
5. Fold the Omelette:
- Using the spatula, gently lift one side of the omelette and fold it over to the other side, creating a half-moon shape.
- Continue to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until the omelette is fully cooked through and slightly golden on the outside.
6. Serve:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate.
- Serve immediately while still warm. Enjoy your basic omelette just as it is, or with your favorite toppings such as fresh herbs, cheese, or a side of toast.

Tips:

- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, resulting in a fluffier omelette.

- Preheat the pan and ensure the butter is hot enough to avoid sticking.

- Cook on medium-low heat to allow even cooking without burning the omelette.

- Add fillings like cheese, vegetables, or meats for additional flavor and nutrients.

- Flip the omelette gently to avoid breaking.

With these simple tips and steps, you can master the art of making a basic omelette. It's a versatile dish that can be customized to suit your taste and dietary preferences. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious omelette!
