Classic omelette

The classic omelette is a timeless dish that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a delicious and fluffy omelette in minutes. This recipe uses eggs, chives, and butter to create a flavorful and satisfying meal. Follow these easy steps to perfect your omelette-making skills.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
150g
1 tbsp chives
16g
1 tbsp butter
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
- Finely chop the chives and set aside.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Place a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, swirling it around to coat the entire bottom of the pan. Be careful not to let the butter brown.
3. Cook the Omelette:
- Once the butter is melted and begins to slightly sizzle, pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly across the surface.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until they begin to set around the edges.
4. Add Chives:
- Sprinkle the finely chopped chives evenly over the surface of the setting eggs.
5. Form the Omelette:
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette as it cooks, allowing any uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until there is no more liquid egg remaining, and the omelette becomes mostly set but still slightly soft in the center.
6. Fold the Omelette:
- Once the omelette is set, use a spatula to carefully fold it in half, or gently slide it onto a plate and fold it there.
7. Serve:
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.

Tips:

- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which will make the omelette fluffy.

- Keep the heat at medium to low to avoid browning the omelette too quickly.

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the omelette from sticking and make it easier to fold.

- Add fillings like cheese, ham, or vegetables if you want to customize your omelette.

Cooking a classic omelette is straightforward and rewarding. By using fresh ingredients and following these tips, you'll be able to make a perfectly cooked, fluffy omelette every time. Whether you enjoy it plain or with your favorite fillings, this classic dish is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
