Omelette recipe 

  • Heat a thin pan over a moderate heat. 
  • Make the filling: chop herbs, grate cheese, slice raw mushrooms. 
  • Break 2 eggs into a bowl. They need no liquid. Add a little salt, whisk with a fork. 
  • Put a little butter (about a teaspoon) into the hot frying pan and allow it to sizzle. 
  • Hold the pan and swirl the melted butter round its base. 
  • After 10 seconds, lift one edge and tilt the frying pan, allowing the unset egg to roll on to the surface of the frying pan. Do the same with the other edge. 
  • While the top is still slightly runny, add the herbs/cheese/sliced raw mushroom over one side and then fold the omelette over – an egg flip will do well. 
  • Serve immediately. 

It usually takes less time to make than it does to read how to make it. It must be made quickly in a hot pan; the longer it takes, the drier it will be.
