Directions

  1. Whisk the eggs without creating foam, then mix them with the chosen ingredients. Heat a frying pan over high heat and add the fat: wait until the butter is melted and the foam has subsided. Pour the mixture into the pan and let it cook at the base.
  2. Fold the edges of the omelette towards the center while the top is still moist. ≈ 3 min
  3. Slide the omelette into the plate, with the flat side facing up. To make it shine, brush it with a little fat or fresh butter. ≈ 4 min
  4. To fill it, make a slit along the length and slide the filling into the resulting pocket.
