Description

An omelet is a quick and easy breakfast or brunch dish that can be customized with your favorite ingredients. It consists of beaten eggs cooked in a frying pan and folded over a filling of your choice. This basic omelet recipe is perfect for beginners and can be easily adapted to suit your taste preferences.

Prep Time

5 minutes

Cook Time

5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional fillings: cheese, ham, bacon, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, peppers

Equipment

  • Non-stick frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Bowl
  • Whisk or fork

Method

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a fork or whisk until they are well beaten and frothy.
  2. Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until it is hot and bubbly.
  3. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, tilting the pan to make sure the eggs cover the bottom evenly.
  4. Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds, then use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet and let the uncooked eggs flow underneath.
  5. When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny on top, add your desired fillings to one side of the omelet.
  6. Using the spatula, gently fold the other side of the omelet over the filling.
  7. Cook the omelet for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the eggs are fully set and the filling is heated through.
  8. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.

Notes

  • Be sure to use a non-stick frying pan to prevent the omelet from sticking.
  • Don't overcook the eggs or they will become tough and dry.
  • Experiment with different fillings to find your favorite combination.

Recipes FAQ

What other fillings can I use for my omelet?

You can use any ingredients that you like, such as chopped vegetables, leftover meats, or shredded cheese. Some popular options include diced ham, crumbled bacon, sautéed mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, onions, and peppers, and fresh spinach or herbs.

Can I make an omelet without a non-stick pan?

While a non-stick pan is ideal for making omelets, you can use a regular frying pan if you grease it well with butter or oil. Just be sure to use a spatula to loosen the eggs from the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.

Recipe Tips

  • For a fluffier omelet, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the beaten eggs before cooking.
  • If you're making a large omelet, use a bigger frying pan and increase the number of eggs and fillings accordingly.
  • If you're adding cheese to your omelet, sprinkle it on top of the filling just before folding the omelet over to allow it to melt.
