French Omelette
A delicate omelette with a silky, creamy center, buttery flavor, and fresh herbs, cooked and served right away.
Ingredients
- egg2 pcs
- butter15 g
- green onion5 g
- parsley5 g
- salt0.25 tsp
- ground black pepper0.125 tsp
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk with a fork just until combined, without beating in too much air.
Finely chop the green onion and parsley; warm the plate you'll be serving the omelette on.
Melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; once it foams, pour in the eggs.
For the first 10–15 seconds, quickly stir the eggs with a spatula or the flat side of a fork while gently shaking the pan to form small, delicate folds.
Once the bottom sets and the top stays glossy and creamy, stop stirring; sprinkle the green onion and parsley over the center.
Tilt the pan and roll the omelette into thirds, or fold it in half, taking care not to overcook it; brush the surface with the remaining butter if needed.
Slide the omelette onto the warmed plate seam-side down and serve immediately, while the center is still soft.
