How To Make The Perfect Omelette (For Real)

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon of water or milk (optional, for a fluffier texture)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon of butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Beat the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them thoroughly. If you prefer a fluffier omelette, add a tablespoon of water or milk to the eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Let them sit for a few seconds to allow the edges to start setting.
4. Stir and Tilt: Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, then tilt the pan so the uncooked eggs can flow to the edges. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
5. Add the Fillings: Once the eggs are mostly cooked, add your desired fillings to one half of the omelette.
6. Fold the Omelette: Carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings using your spatula. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to a minute, allowing the cheese to melt or the ingredients to heat through.
7. Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish if desired, and serve immediately.

Three Yummy Fillings:

1. Spinach, Feta, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes:
   • Sauté a handful of fresh spinach in the pan before adding the eggs.
   • Add crumbled feta cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes as the filling.
   • The combination of earthy spinach, tangy feta, and sweet sun-dried tomatoes makes for a flavorful, Mediterranean-inspired omelette.
2. Mushroom, Swiss Cheese, and Caramelized Onions:
   • Sauté sliced mushrooms and caramelized onions until they are golden brown and soft.
   • Add them to the omelette with shredded Swiss cheese.
   • This filling is rich and savory, perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch.
3. Ham, Cheddar, and Bell Peppers:
   • Dice some ham and bell peppers and sauté them until the peppers are tender.
   • Add shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ham and peppers.
   • This classic combination is hearty and satisfying, ideal for those who enjoy a more traditional omelette filling.

Enjoy your perfect omelette with your favorite filling!
