How to Make the Perfect Omelet
The omelet is one of the quintessential breakfasts in the American kitchen, but many people are intimidated by this simple meal. Most of these fears are derived from the infamous fold over, which, I admit, will take some time to master. Here is a simple omelet recipe to help you get some practice.
1. Since it’s a quick process, have all your ingredients ready by the stove before you start cooking.
2. Use nonstick cookware and add a little butter or give the pan a quick coat of nonstick cooking spray.
3. Add a tablespoon or two of water (not milk — that burns!) to eggs when beating them. That’ll make for a fluffier omelet.
4. Add the eggs to the pan, give them a stir, let them firm up a bit, then add your choice of fillings on one side.
5. Just when the eggs have solidified, slide the omelet onto a plate and carefully fold it over.
6. Finish the omelet with some pepper and salt from your salt mill.
