It is creamy on the inside and appears golden from the outside. If you are an amateur and do not know how to make a great omelette, refer to the tricks and tips mentioned below.
Pick The Right Eggs
Make sure the eggs you have picked for cooking are at room temperature. Using eggs right after taking them out of a refrigerator can lead to overcooking as cold eggs take longer to set.
For The Fluffiness
You can achieve a fluffy texture by adding a small amount of milk or cream to the egg batter.
Beating The Right Way
For getting a perfect omelette ready on your pan, you need to beat the eggs until there is no visible white portion in the batter. Your egg mix needs to be light and frothy.
Set The Temperature Right
Pick a non-stick pan for making omelette and keep it on medium heat. Also, keep in mind that omelette takes less time to cook on too big pans. However, if the pan is small, the omelette may remain runny from inside. Therefore, you are advised to use not more than 2 eggs for making omelette if your pan is small.
When to Pour The Batter
Firstly, add butter to the pan and let it melt nicely. Add egg batter when you see the butter bubbles have died down.
Cooking Time
Eggs are very delicate so you need to pay attention to them when cooking as they can turn brown at any time. An ideal omelette is one that has a light yellowish bottom and is not brown.
How to Place
One of the most important parts of cooking omelette is placing it nicely onto a plate without breaking. To do that, you need to first shake the pan gently. Now, slide it to the edge of the pan and hold it above the plate. Tilt the skillet a bit so that the omelette can slide off onto the plate.
