The Perfect Omelette: A Step-by-Step Guide

Ingredients:

* 2 large eggs

* 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional)

* Pinch of salt

* Pinch of black pepper

* Butter or oil for greasing the pan

* Your favorite fillings (cheese, ham, vegetables, herbs, etc.)

Equipment:

* Non-stick skillet (8-10 inches)

* Spatula

* Whisk

Instructions:

Preparation:

1. Gather your ingredients and equipment. Have everything ready before you start cooking.

2. Crack the eggs. Crack the eggs into a bowl.

3. Whisk the eggs. Add the milk or cream, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Whisk everything together until light and frothy. Don't over whisk.

4. Prepare your fillings. Chop vegetables, dice cheese, and have your other desired fillings ready to go.

Cooking:

1. Heat the pan. Place the skillet over medium heat. Add a pat of butter or a drizzle of oil to coat the bottom.

2. Test the heat. Once the butter melts and sizzles, the pan is ready.

3. Pour the eggs. Gently pour the whisked egg mixture into the hot pan.

4. Start to cook. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to a minute. You'll see the bottom of the omelette starting to set.

5. Add your fillings. When the edges of the omelette have set, add your desired fillings to one half of the pan.

6. Fold the omelette. Use a spatula to gently lift the uncooked part of the omelette and fold it over the fillings.

7. Cook until set. Let the omelette cook for another minute or so, until the top is set and just slightly puffy.

8. Slide onto a plate. Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate.

Serving:

* Serve immediately. Enjoy your perfect omelette hot, with your favorite sides like toast, fruit, or salad.

* Garnish if desired. Sprinkle with chopped herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Tips for a Perfect Omelette:

* Use fresh, high-quality eggs.

* Don't overcook the eggs. The omelette should be soft and creamy, not rubbery.

* Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're making multiple omelettes, give each one enough space to cook properly.

* Experiment with different fillings. Get creative and try new combinations to find your favorite omelette recipe.
