Soft, tender, and folded to perfection, this classic omelette is a breakfast staple made elegant. Ready in minutes and endlessly customizable, it’s the go-to dish for quick, satisfying comfort.

Ingredients

  • Eggs: 2–3 – lightly beaten for soft texture.
  • Butter: 1 tablespoon – for flavor and nonstick cooking.
  • Salt & Pepper: To taste – simple seasoning to bring out the flavor.
  • Optional Water or Milk: 1 teaspoon – makes omelette fluffier.
  • Optional Fillings: Cheese, chopped herbs, sautéed vegetables, diced ham, etc.

Instructions

  1. Beat Eggs: In a bowl, lightly beat eggs with salt, pepper, and optional milk/water.
  2. Heat Butter: Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until foamy.
  3. Cook Eggs: Pour eggs into the pan, lower heat, and gently sweep edges toward center as they set, allowing uncooked egg to flow outward.
  4. Add Fillings: When nearly set, add desired fillings to one side.
  5. Fold & Serve: Fold omelette over, slide onto a plate seam-side down, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a nonstick or well-seasoned skillet for best results.
  • Don’t overfill or the omelette may tear.
  • Practice makes perfect—mastering the fold is key!
  • Add herbs or cheese just before serving for extra flavor.
