How To Make A French Style Omelette
A creamy french omelette with a custardy smooth centre
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tsp chopped fresh chives
- salt
Instructions
- Begin by placing some butter in your non-stick pan on a low-medium heat and allow it to melt
- Whilst the pan gets to temperature, crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk gently until thoroughly combined and no white remains. Season.
- Once the butter starts to gently foam and bubble, turn the heat down to the lowest it will go.
- Add the eggs and start shaking the pan and stir the eggs around the pan with a spatula fairly vigorously
- Keep doing this until a gentle scramble starts to form, cleaning down the sides of the pan as you go with the spatula
- When the scramble is looking creamy and custardy, but still fluid enough to spread, use the spatula to spread into a smooth layer covering the pan
- Allow to cook for a few minutes until the eggs look set but still moist
- Tilt the pan and slowly roll up the omelette using the spatula
- Gently invert the pan onto a plate to remove the omelette and brush with some melted butter. Garnish with chopped chives
