Categories     Breakfast

Time 6m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon cold water
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, break both eggs, add cold water, salt and pepper and using a fork or a whisk, mix until well blended.
  • Preheat an 8 or 10 inch frying pan on medium-high heat. It is preferable to use a non-stick frying pan or skillet.
  • Add butter and let it melt.
  • Rotate pan and let the butter coat the edges.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan and immediately start to rotate the pan in a circular motion, keeping the pan on the element at all times.
  • During rotating, take a spatula and loosen the egg on the sides of the pan if nececessary and continue to rotate the pan until the eggs are cooked. You may need to loosen the sides a couple of times during cooking; takes about 2 minutes. The omelette should be loose and rotate in the pan. Do not overcook the omelette as it will get rubbery.
  • Once the omelette is cooked, take the spatula and turn 1/3 of the omelette over towards the center of the pan. Slide the omelette onto a platter so that it folds again.
  • You may wish to use your choice of filling. Just before you fold the last 1/3 over, add some filling and then fold the omelette over.
  • Do not let the omelette brown. It should be thin and soft.
  • Enjoy.

This is a very simple omelette for one. If you are going to add any fillings, make sure to prepare them ahead of time. Feta cheese and dill is a favourite of mine.

Provided by Sackville

Categories     Breakfast

Time 4m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 large eggs
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon oil or 1 tablespoon butter, for frying

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk.
  • Add some salt and pepper, if you like, but do not add any water, milk, or any other liquids.
  • Heat the oil or butter in a 9-inch non-stick frying pan and pour in the eggs.
  • In the first 30-seconds of cooking, use a spatula to create 6-10 small cuts through the omelette.
  • This allows the uncooked egg on the top to flow down to the bottom of the pan.
  • When the top is nearly set, sprinkle any fillings over half of the omelette and turn off the heat.
  • Don't worry if some of the egg in the very centre isn't quite set, because the ambient heat will soon cook it.
  • Use your spatula to flip one half of the omelette over the other and serve immediately.

EASY OMELET FOR ONE



Easy Omelet for One image

This is so easy to do and it is fail proof! The filling is as good as your imagination, try different combinations. Blue cheese adds some zest. I usually make my filling and keep it warm in the oven while I cook the omelette. I often use 3 tbsp whipped cottage cheese instead of the sour cream. I think my favorite omelette is filled with cheddar cheese, jalapeno pepper, crumbled bacon and mushrooms - I fry the mushrooms and jalapeno for just a minute or two and I add the ceddar to the omelette in the last minute of cooking This is a new favorite filling that I just had. I didn't want to make a new recipe because this is the base recipe. - 3/4 cup fried mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped, cooked chicken, 1tsp hot cajun spice, 1/4 cup shredded lite gouda cheese (or your own favorite), 4 tbsp hot salsa. Fry the mushrooms in a bit of butter or Pam, add chicken & Cajun spice - heat-remove from pan and keep warm-Cook your omelet-add cheese & chicken/ mushrooms when it is just about cooked to one side of the omelet. flip closed, after 1-2 minutes served with the salsa on top!

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Supper

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp sunflower oil
1 tsp butter

Steps:

  • Season the beaten eggs well with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat until the butter has melted and is foaming.
  • Pour the eggs into the pan, tilt the pan ever so slightly from one side to another to allow the eggs to swirl and cover the surface of the pan completely. Let the mixture cook for about 20 seconds then scrape a line through the middle with a spatula.
  • Tilt the pan again to allow it to fill back up with the runny egg. Repeat once or twice more until the egg has just set.
  • At this point you can fill the omelette with whatever you like - some grated cheese, sliced ham, fresh herbs, sautéed mushrooms or smoked salmon all work well. Scatter the filling over the top of the omelette and fold gently in half with the spatula. Slide onto a plate to serve.

OMELET



Omelet image

This recipe is for a basic French omelet with three eggs: enough for a hearty breakfast or brunch, or a light supper for one. The key to mastering this recipe is controlling the heat so the eggs do not brown, and whisking the eggs in the skillet so they set on the exterior but remain fluffy inside. A good nonstick or well-seasoned carbon-steel skillet is central to cooking the ideal omelet, which should be tender and slightly runny. Once you've got the technique down, you can play around with your seasonings, adding minced herbs, grated cheese, diced ham or sautéed vegetables. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Tips for Making a Perfect Omelet:

- **Use fresh, high-quality ingredients.** This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your omelet. - **Don't overbeat the eggs.** Overbeaten eggs will make your omelet tough. Just whisk them enough to combine them. - **Cook the omelet over medium heat.** This will help it cook evenly without burning. - **Be patient.** Don't flip the omelet too soon. Wait until the bottom is golden brown and the top is mostly set. - **Don't overfill the pan.** If you put too much in the pan, the omelet will be too thick and won't cook evenly. - **Be creative with your fillings.** You can add almost anything to an omelet, so get creative and experiment with different flavors. - **Serve immediately.** Omelets are best when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

An omelet is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect omelet every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this omelet recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
