How to Make an Omelette

• Crack and whisk eggs: Start by cracking your eggs into a small bowl. Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Using a whisk, beat the eggs vigorously until they are well combined. The goal here is to incorporate as much air as possible into the egg mixture, which will make it fluffy.
• Heat your pan: Next, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the skillet is hot, add a pat of butter or a drizzle of oil. The key here is to ensure the pan is hot enough to cook the eggs without burning them, and the butter or oil will prevent the it from sticking to the pan.
• Cook the omelette: Pour the whisked egg mixture into the preheated skillet. Let it cook for about a minute without stirring, allowing the eggs to set around the edges. If you're making a veggie and cheese omelette, this is the time to spread your precooked vegetables evenly across the eggs.
• Add cheese and fold: Once it’s mostly cooked, sprinkle your chosen cheese over half of it. Gently fold the omelette in half using a spatula. The heat from the omelette will melt the cheese.
• Serve: Finally, remove the omelette from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before serving. This allows the cheese to melt fully and the omelette to finish cooking from the residual heat. Pair it with a dollop of sour cream on top, if desired, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for extra flavor.
