Classic omelette

A classic omelette is a timeless breakfast dish that's simple to prepare yet delicious. With just a few ingredients and straightforward steps, you can create a fluffy and flavorful meal to start your day right.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1 tbsp water
16g
salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp butter
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs:
- 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.
2. Heat the Pan:
- 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.
3. Cook the Omelette:
- 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.
4. Fold the Omelette:
- 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.
5. Serve:
- 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.

Cooking a classic omelette is a quick and rewarding experience that opens the door to many variations and personal touches. By following these simple instructions and tips, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying breakfast any day of the week. Happy cooking!
