Basic Omelette

5.0(25)

This is a very simple omelette for one. If you are going to add any fillings, make sure to prepare them ahead of time. Feta cheese and dill is a favourite of mine.

Ingredients (3)

serves

2 large eggsegg
salt and pepper, to tastesalt-and-pepper
1 tablespoon oil or 1 tablespoon butter, for fryingbutter

Instructions (8 steps)

01Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk.
02Add some salt and pepper, if you like, but do not add any water, milk, or any other liquids.
03Heat the oil or butter in a 9-inch non-stick frying pan and pour in the eggs.
04In the first 30-seconds of cooking, use a spatula to create 6-10 small cuts through the omelette.
05This allows the uncooked egg on the top to flow down to the bottom of the pan.
06When the top is nearly set, sprinkle any fillings over half of the omelette and turn off the heat.
07Don't worry if some of the egg in the very centre isn't quite set, because the ambient heat will soon cook it.
