How To Make The Perfect Omelet

Crack your eggs into the mixing bowl and give them a good whisk.

Add two small splashes of milk — it's important to not add too much milk as this will affect the consistency of the omelet.

Add a little bit of salt and pepper to taste. Mix again to combine the ingredients.

Add about 2 teaspoons of butter to the pan and place over a medium-high heat. As the butter melts, tilt the pan to spread the butter across the surface. Make sure that you spread the butter around the raised edges of the pan as well. You'll know the pan is ready when the butter starts to sizzle.

Pour the eggs into the pan. Tilt the pan so that the eggs spread across the surface. Use a spatula to pull the eggs away from the edge of the pan. At the same time, tilt the pan. This will allow the uncooked egg to fill in the gaps. Try to ensure that as much of the egg touches the surface of the pan as possible.

Cook the omelet for between 1-2 minutes. By this point, the surface of the omelet will no longer be liquid but will still look relatively uncooked.

Sprinkle your fillings over the center of the omelet. Try not to add too many fillings as these can weigh down the omelet and result in breakage.

Using the spatula, gently fold the right and left ends of the omelet over the middle.

Finally, slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with herbs, and enjoy!
