Omelette Nature (Plain French Omelette)
Omelette Nature (Plain French Omelette) is French home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with the salt and pepper, and beat well with a fork until fully blended.
- Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it foams but before it browns.
- Pour in the eggs all at once and let them set for a few seconds, then stir gently with a fork while shaking the pan, drawing the edges toward the center.
- As soon as the eggs are just set but still glossy on top, about 1 to 2 minutes, stop stirring and let the base finish setting for a few more seconds.
- Fold the omelette in thirds with the spatula, slide it onto a plate, and serve immediately while it is still soft inside.
