Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the 2 eggs into a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of water to the eggs.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Whisk the mixture until the eggs and water are fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
- Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
- Let it sit without stirring for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
- Use a spatula to gently push the cooked edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- Tilt the pan if necessary to ensure the raw egg covers the surface evenly.
- Continue this process until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
- Once the omelette is mostly cooked and only slightly runny on top, use the spatula to fold it in half.
- Keep pressing lightly for another 30 seconds to ensure it cooks through.
- Gently slide the omelette onto a plate.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Tips:
- For a fluffier omelette, use room temperature eggs and beat them well to incorporate air.
- Make sure your pan is preheated and the butter is melted but not browned before adding the eggs.
- Use a non-stick pan to make flipping and folding the omelette easier.
- Feel free to add fillings like cheese, ham, vegetables, or herbs to customize your omelette.
- Cook on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and to ensure even cooking.
