Ingredients

Omelette Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • Pinch fine sea salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella, low moisture, part-skim, or your desired cheese

Instructions

  1. Beat Eggs: In a small mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes foamy, which helps create a light and fluffy texture.
  2. Heat Skillet: Place a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and swirl in 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and bubble, indicating the pan is properly heated.
  3. Cook Eggs: Pour the frothy eggs into the skillet and immediately reduce the heat to low to prevent overcooking. Use a spatula to gently pull the cooked edges of the eggs toward the center, letting the uncooked liquid eggs flow to the edges. Continue this motion around the pan until the eggs are almost set but still moist.
  4. Flip Omelette: Once the omelette slides easily in the pan and a spatula can be inserted underneath, carefully flip the omelette over and then turn off the heat to avoid browning.
  5. Add Cheese and Fold: Sprinkle your chosen cheese evenly over the omelette, add any additional toppings you prefer, fold the omelette in half, and carefully slide it onto a plate. Garnish as desired for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Optional Fillings: Cheese varieties like cheddar, Mexican blend, Swiss, or Monterey Jack; fresh spinach; sautéed mushrooms; crispy air fryer bacon; sautéed diced bell peppers and onions; diced baked ham.
  • Optional Toppings and Garnish: Fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or dill; baby tomatoes; avocado slices.
