Software
- About a tablespoon of butter for every three eggs, cut into small pieces and frozen (I know, it sounds weird)
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- About a teaspoon of oil
- Cheese or other fillings that you like to nom
- 3 eggs
- A small pan (I prefer non-stick)
- A lid that fits over the pan
- A fork
- Chopsticks or a pair of wooden skewers
- A small bowl
How To
- Chop a tablespoon of butter into small bits and freeze it
- Heat your pan over medium-high heat and add about a teaspoon of oil
- Crack three eggs into a small bowl
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper
- Using a fork, stir the eggs for about 70 seconds - don't stir too quickly or be too rough, the goal is to combine them not whip them
- Add your frozen butter into the eggs and pour the mixture into the pan
- Using the chopsticks, gently stir the eggs around
- When the mixture resembles very soft scrambled eggs, spread it evenly over the bottom of the pan and cover with the lid, turning off the heat
- Let sit for about 10 seconds, remove the lid and quickly sprinkle in your toppings, then cover for another 10 seconds
- Remove the lid, put the heat under the pan on high, and cook for about 20 seconds
- Carefully slide your delicious omelette onto a plate, folding it in half as you go, and enjoy!
