Serves: 1  

1.Using a fork, crack three eggs into a bowl or deep container and ensuring the yolk is broken, weakly scramble the eggs using a fork. Try beating the eggs as softly as possible without breaking the yolk, your aim is to keep the eggs fluffy.  

2.In the beginning, moderate the low heat before placing a pan on the stove, then pour in the butter into the skillet and let it melt. You will know when the pan is hot enough when a sprinkle of water begins to simmer but avoid overheating it. Overheating will cause burning or browning of the butter.

  1. Omelette Preparation: Pour the scrambled eggs into the pan, allow them to settle for a few seconds, and with a spatula, begin to stir gently to create small curds. For 1–2 minutes more, allow them to cook and whilst gently stirring, stop when the eggs start to set.
  2. Omelette Final Shaping: Upon noticing the edges of the omelette start to set, tip the pan allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Using the spatula, rise the edges of the omelette slowly so the uncooked parts have room underneath.
  3. Final Steps: Once the omelette is primarily cooked but a tad runny in the center, diligently fold it in half. Gently slide it onto a plate—the slight golden colored exterior will remain while the soft, creamy interior will be captured.
  4. Garnishing: For more flavor, freshly cut herbs can be added as a topping.

  • The smoothness of a French omelette is perhaps its best attribute. The outer layer should not be brown too much.
  • French omelettes are all about minimalism. So, if you do decide to put fillings, remember to keep them mild and few.
