Two Egg Omelette
Ingredients
2 eggs
Salt & Pepper
5 grams of Butter
Method
Crack two eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork. Add a grind of black or white pepper and a pinch of salt (optional)
Heat the entire plan, base and sides. Add 5 grams of butter while pan is on medium/high. Swirl butter around the base and sides of pan. Add the eggs and immediately, with the back of a fork, move the mixture once or twice in a circular motion
Turn heat down and sit only half the pan over the heat. If desired, add an omelette filling, to one side of the omelette. Using a plastic spatula flip the cooked half of the egg over the uncooked side
Put the whole pan back over the heat and cook for a further minute (less if you like the centre soft and a little runny, or more if you like it firm or cooked through)
Serve and eat immediately
Tips & Hints
Some classic omelette fillings include shredded Cheddar or Gruyere cheese, sour cream, diced ham, crisp bacon, sautéed mushrooms, capsicums or tomatoes, caramelised onions, fresh herbs or even last night’s leftovers.
