Instructions:
Before you start, you’ll need a few specific ingredients and equipment. Here’s what you’ll need to make the best classic omelette:
- 8- or 10-inch non-stick skillet: Non-stick is easiest for sliding out the eggs. These pan sizes make just the right size: don’t try any larger. (The best spatula for non-stick? Use a nylon spatula.)
- Eggs: The recipe below is for one serving. It cooks in just 30 seconds, so you can make the order.
- Water: Water helps to give a lighter and more tender texture to the eggs.
- Butter: It adds a nutty, savoury flavour and turns it into a lovely golden brown colour.
- Shredded cheese (optional): Cheese adds even more flavour: we like it with a mix of cheddar and Parmesan for the best nuance in flavour.
