Ingredients for 40 Second Omelet
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon butter
How to Make 40 Second Omelet
- Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until light and frothy.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering.
- Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan.
- As the edges begin to set, use an inverted pancake turner (or a flexible spatula) to gently push the cooked edges towards the center. Tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Continue pushing the cooked egg towards the center, tilting the pan as needed, until most of the egg is set but the top is still slightly wet.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of your favorite fillings (cheese, vegetables, ham, etc.) over one half of the omelet.
- Using the pancake turner, carefully fold the unfilled half of the omelet over the filling.
- Cook for another 15-20 seconds to melt the cheese and heat the filling.
- Gently slide the omelet onto a plate using the pancake turner and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
