Omelettes are an egg breakfast consisting of eggs that have been beaten, then cooked until set and folded over. American omelets are filled with cheese, veggies, and/or protein. French omelettes are just eggs and butter without a filling.

Classic Omelette

Here’s how to make an omelette! This French technique makes an omelette recipe just the way Julia Child would…and it cooks up in seconds.

Prep: 2min

Total: 3min

Yield: 1

Nutrition Facts: servingSize None, calories 289 calories, Sugar 0.6 g, Sodium 637.9 mg, Fat 20.9 g, Saturated Fat 10.2 g, Trans Fat 0 g, Carbohydrate 4.3 g, Fiber 1.2 g, Protein 20.7 g, Cholesterol 401.7 mg

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 grinds fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon water
• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese, ideally 2 tablespoons each shredded cheddar and Parmesan
• Additional filling ingredients, if desired (see above)

Instruction:

1. In a small bowl, crack the eggs. With a fork, whisk vigorously together with the kosher salt, pepper and water.
2. Heat a small 8-inch or 10-inch nonstick skillet over just below high heat, with the pan handle facing towards you. Add the butter and swirl the pan to fully coat. Wait until the butter starts to become foamy with large bubbles but not yet browned, then pour in eggs.
3. When a skin just starts to form after 10 to 15 seconds, add the cheese (and other filling ingredients) in a line from left to right. Working quickly, run a small spatula under the far edge of the omelette to release it from the pan. Start to pull the eggs up and shake and tilt the pan to spread out any uncooked egg and allow it to cook. Using the spatula, roll the eggs up and over the cheese; this will be intentionally messy!
4. Cook another 10 to 15 seconds until just barely set; the outside should be a pale golden and the inside soft and creamy. For a harder cooked omelette, cook several seconds longer. Turn off the heat.
5. To remove the omelette, hold a plate in one hand. Then pick up the pan with your right hand, thumb up, and quickly turn the pan upside down over the plate so that the omelette rolls off onto the middle of the plate, folding over itself into a rolled shape. Serve immediately.
