How to Make an Omelet.
An omelet is only a little more work than a bowl of cereal, and it's at least twice
as classy.
You will need The fillings of your choice 2 or 3 large eggs A mixing bowl A pinch of
coarse salt A pinch of black pepper A nonstick skillet 1.0 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter
A spatula and 1.0 tbsp water.
Step 1.
Choose your omelet fillings.
One vegetable and one cheese is the classic combination, but that's by no means mandatory.
Use your imagination- olives, salsa, tofu, anything!
Step 2.
Crack your eggs into the mixing bowl and use the fork to beat them until the whites and
yolks are well-blended.
Add a pinch of coarse salt and a pinch of black pepper.
If you want your omelet extra-fluffy, add a tablespoon of water to the mix too.
Step 3.
Place the skillet on your stovetop and turn the burner to medium.
Allow it to heat up.
Step 4.
Add one tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter, and swirl it around the skillet until the
entire cooking surface is coated.
Step 5.
Add all your fillings, except for cheeses, to the skillet.
Allow them to sizzle just for a bit, then remove them from the skillet and set them
aside for a moment.
Step 6.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it around until it is spread evenly.
Step 7.
When the edges of the omelet are solidifying, swirl the pan again to redistribute the uncooked
eggs in the center.
Step 8.
When the edges are turning crisp and pulling away from the skillet, add your fillings and
cheese down the center of the omelet so it's separated into thirds, and turn the heat down.
Step 9.
Allow the cheese to melt.
Once it has done so, use the spatula to flip each outside third of the omelet over the
middle third.
Step 10.
Slide the omelet out of the skillet onto the plate.
It's ready to enjoy.
