Omelette Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella (low moisture, part-skim, or your desired cheese*)
Instructions
- Beat Eggs: In a small mixing bowl, beat together eggs and a pinch of salt until foamy, ensuring the mixture is light and airy for a fluffy texture.
- Heat Butter: Place a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and swirl in 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted and bubbling, lower the heat to low immediately after adding the eggs.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Use a spatula to gently pull the cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked eggs fill the space. Continue this process until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny on top.
- Flip Omelette: When the omelette slides easily in the pan and you can get a spatula underneath, carefully flip it over. Then turn off the heat to avoid overcooking.
- Add Cheese and Fold: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the omelette. Add any preferred toppings, fold the omelette in half, and slide it onto a plate. Garnish as desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use low heat after adding eggs to avoid browning and ensure tender texture.
- You can customize toppings such as sautéed vegetables, herbs, or cooked meats for extra flavor.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded for optimal texture.
- Cook times may vary slightly depending on skillet size and stovetop heat.
- This recipe yields 1 omelette, perfect for a single serving.
