The Basic Omelet

I love eggs. But I’m really weird about them. I don’t like them browned at all. Makes them smell like burnt hair. This one actually has a hint of brown on it🤢😂 If I see someone scrambling eggs, and it’s stuck to the sides, I want to run gagging and screaming. What a stinking waste…literally. So my suggestion is LOWER HEAT. Less is more in the egg realm. Weirdly, I only like American cheese in my omelette or scrambled eggs. I’m not very cultured😂😂🩷 this is nothing really but to know how to make a good egg is priceless.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

I prefer to use a nonstick skillet. On med/low heat melt your butter. Pour your beaten egg in. I use a skillet the size I want my omelette.

* Step 2

As the egg starts to cook, pull the edges back with your spatula and allow the raw egg to fill it back in. This allows it to cook evenly. It also thickens your omelette. I add salt at this point.

* Step 3

When the surface is almost cooked through, lay your cheese on on one side. Leave a little border to allow for oozing cheese. Break up the cheese if you need to. Using your spatula, flip the empty side over onto the cheese side. Then flip the half circle over to finish the other side.
