Learn how to make a classic French omelette.
Ingredients
- 3 pcs egg
- 1 tbsp butter
- grated cheese
- salt and white pepper
- finely chopped parsley / chives
French Omelette is known for its juiciness and bright fine color. With this technique, the eggs are evenly fried, juicy and without a crust. Fill with some cheese, ham or bacon. Eggs are an affordable raw material and a good source of protein. A good omelette is perfect for breakfast, but can also be served as a light lunch or dinner with a salad next to it. The great thing about this method is that it takes a short time. It may take some training before you master this, but training makes perfect!
Step 1
Start by whipping the eggs well with a pinch of salt. It should not be a fluffy mixture, but it must be even.
Step 2
Put a "non stick" frying pan on medium heat and add a little butter to the pan. The butter should bubble gently, but it should not brown. If the butter turns brown, the pan is too hot. Pour in the egg mixture and stir regularly while also moving the pan with the other hand. Stir for about 30 seconds until you have a liquid scrambled egg.
Step 3
Distribute the batter evenly in the pan and sprinkle on the desired filling. I think it is very good with some cheese in an omelette. Carefully fold the edge of the handle on the frying pan over the filling. Push the omelette towards the other end by tilting the pan away from you. Tap the handle a little so that the other edge can be folded over. Find a plate and roll the omelette on it.
Step 4
Finish by smearing a little more butter on the outside of the omelette. This gives it an incredibly nice shiny surface and tastes good. Sprinkle with some finely chopped herbs and extra salt. The most common herbs to use are chives, parsley or tarragon. I've made an instructional video to show you how to make this dish. I recommend that you look at this before trying it for the first time. Good luck.
