Preparation
Chef’s notes
Pick the right pan:
When you’re choosing what pan to use for this recipe, you’ll need to consider two factors
Preheat the pan:
You want the pan to be hot when you add the eggs—they should sizzle when you pour them in. Then, immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Starting the omelette on a hot surface will help it cook quickly and form fluffy curds. Reducing the heat helps the eggs cook through without browning.
Work quickly:
Eggs cook fast! In order to cook an omelette with fluffy curds and minimal browning, you’ll need to move the eggs almost constantly until the bottom of the omelette is set.
When the uncooked egg starts to thicken, gently spread it in an even layer. You won’t end up with a pool of raw egg in the middle of your omelette, and it’ll have a more uniform round shape, ideal for enclosing your favorite omelette fillings.
