Basic Omelette

  2. Beat two eggs until white and yolk is incorporated, but not completely homogenous – about 20 strokes
  3. Use a whisk to incorporate lots of air for a lighter omelette.
  4. If you like a really really light omelette, separate the yolks first, then beat the egg whites for a while. Adding the yolks back in after the whites start to foam, but not form any type of peaks – then continue beating.
  5. Bring temperature of pan up to 280° – 320° . Small drop of water should splatter
  6. Put in 1 tablespoon cold butter and 1 tsp olive oil
  7. Move butter around to coat pan
    . Ideally, melt butter in a small pan to separate out solids. Use only the clarified butter. Clarified butter will not burn as easily as whole butter.
  8. Add egg to medium hot pan
  9. Move pan around to spread yolk into cooked areas
  10. Once your has been mostly cooked, add your toppings
  11. Toppings should be precooked
  12. Roll omelette over to make a small tube
    . French style omelettes are rolled
    . American style omelettes are folded
  13. Egg should be cooked, but not browned
  14. Top with garnish of your choice
