1.
These are my ingredients: eggs, cheese, butter, milk and salt and pepper.
2.
I like to use a pan about 8 or 9 inches in diameter for a two-egg omelet.
3.
Make sure your cheese is grated before you start making the omelet.
4.
Place the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
5.
Whisk until the egg yolks and egg whites are well combined.
6.
Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat. Tilt pan to coat cooking surface.
7.
When the cloudiness of the butter starts to dissipate (just before it browns), add the egg mixture to the pan.
8.
Give the eggs a very quick whisk - just a second or two - right after you add the mixture to the pan. This will add a little volume and fluffiness to the omelet.
9.
As the egg begins to set, tilt the pan and lift the edges with a spatula so uncooked egg flows to the cooking surface.
10.
Continue tilting and lifting edges around the omelet until there's no more runny egg.
11.
Sprinkle cheese over one half of the omelet.
12.
Fold the omelet in half.
13.
Slide or invert the omelet onto a plate.
Time to dig in!
For this one, I added a sprinkle of cheese on top immediately after plating.
Enjoy!
This recipe is for a diner-style omelet as opposed to a French omelette which is just barely cooked and never browned. It's also different from the puffy omelet which uses stiffly beaten egg whites and gets finished off in the oven. Of the three major folded omelet types, I think this is my favorite.
Basic Cheese Omelet
2 eggs
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons butter
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper - to taste
The basic instructions are to beat the eggs, milk, salt and pepper together. Fry in butter over medium heat. Fill with cheese and fold. The pictures here should give you a good idea of the technique needed to make a great omelet.
