How to Make The Perfect Omelet
- Whisk eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk or cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until light and frothy.
- Prepare fillings: Chop your desired fillings (e.g., 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1 cup chopped bell peppers, 1 cup shredded cheese, 4 slices cooked bacon or ham). Set aside.
- Melt butter: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium heat.
- Pour egg mixture: Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the hot skillet, tilting to spread evenly into a thin layer.
- Add fillings: Sprinkle 1/4 of your desired fillings over one half of the omelet.
- Cook the omelet: Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly browned.
- Fold and finish: Using a spatula, gently lift the unfilled edge of the omelet and fold it over the filling. Continue cooking for another minute, until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted (if using).
- Serve immediately: Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and repeat steps 3-7 for the remaining omelet portions. Garnish as desired and serve immediately.
