LESSON OMELET FLIPPING

Why a lesson in flipping an omelet? Nothing to it, I hear you think. But it is, because making a real omelet is quite a task. Not too dry but silky soft and fluffy, just as it should be.

The perfect omelet for two people

5 eggs

salt and pepper
splash of cream
a knob of butter

1. Break the eggs into a bowl. Whisk the eggs with a fork and add pepper, salt, and cream while whisking.
2. Heat the frying pan. Add a knob of butter and make sure the butter is well distributed over the pan.

3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.

4. With a wooden spatula, pull the edge of the omelet towards the center and tilt the pan so that the resulting gap fills with liquid egg. Do the same on the other side of the pan. Repeat this until the egg no longer runs. Then keep the pan moving so that the egg releases from the pan and doesn’t stick.

5. Now slide a spatula under the omelet and fold it in half.

6. Let the omelet slide out of the pan onto a plate and serve immediately.

7. Top your omelet with strips of avocado, salmon flakes or crispy fried bacon.

The golden tip:
– Don’t whisk the eggs too long and too airy.
– Don’t heat the pan too much, otherwise the butter will burn.

– Use a non-stick pan.

– Use butter and not coconut oil or olive oil, and enough to prevent sticking.
