Instructions
Step 1
Begin by cracking the eggs into a mixing bowl and adding a pinch of salt.
Whisk the eggs gently until the yolks and whites are fully combined. It is important not to over-whisk or use a mixer, as we do not need any foam.
Step 2
Next, place a frying pan on medium heat and add half of the butter.
As the butter melts, it will begin to bubble, but make sure it does not turn brown.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to slightly below medium and pour the whisked eggs into the pan immediately.
Begin to stir gently as the eggs start to cook, making sure to avoid scraping the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, it’s time to roll.
Start folding one edge over and add a bit of leftover butter into the pan as you continue rolling the omelet until fully wrapped.
Step 5
Gently transfer the finished omelet to a serving plate.
Spread the remaining butter on top and sprinkle with salt from a grinder for extra flavor.
Enjoy your omelet hot, served alongside a croissant, sauce, avocado, or any of your favorite ingredients!

A silicone or wooden spatula works best to gently stir and fold the eggs without scratching your skillet. Always be gentle to preserve that fluffy texture!

Variations
Faq
- What’s the best way to avoid overcooking the eggs?
Keep your heat low and remove the skillet from the heat as soon as the eggs start to firm up yet remain slightly undercooked. They’ll continue cooking off the heat!
- Do I need to whisk the eggs until fluffy?
No need for fluffiness! Simply mix until the yolks and whites are well combined; over-beating will create air pockets that can make your omelette too airy.
- Can I make this omelette ahead of time?
While best served fresh, you can prepare the eggs ahead. Just whisk and store in the fridge, then cook when you’re ready!
- What fillings can I add to the omelette?
Get creative! Spinach, cheese, herbs, and smoked salmon all add wonderful flavor. Just remember to keep the fillings minimal for easy rolling!
- How do I achieve the perfect roll?
Start folding from one end as soon as the eggs set. Use the spatula to gently roll it over, adding a little butter to help everything glue together.
- Is it possible to double the recipe?
Yes! Just make sure you have a bigger skillet and adjust the cooking time slightly to ensure even cooking throughout!
