French Omelette
Servings 1 omelette
Calories 440kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large fresh eggs
- ½ teaspoon cold water
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and kosher salt, until the whites and yolks have completely combined.
- Add butter to a 9" nonstick pan over medium high heat. Once melted, but not foaming, pour in the eggs.
- Use two hands: 1 to continuously shake the pan so it levels out the surface of the eggs. The other to scramble the eggs with a rubber spatula using a circular hand motion, basically scraping down the sides and bottom of the pan.
- Once the eggs start to set (they'll move around much less), reduce the heat of your pan to low and use your spatula to smooth out the top of the omelette into a flat and even surface--basically moving the running eggs around so everything cooks more evenly.
- Once the eggs are no longer runny, remove your pan from heat. Use your spatula to get under one edge of the omelette and roll it into a cylinder shape. Once you get 2 inches from the other side of the pan, fold the opposite side over your cylinder; seam side will be up. Add 2/3s of remaining butter to the pan, and allow it to melt under the omelette, lifting it up with your spatula so it can drizzle underneath.
- Flip omelette onto a clean plate so it lays seam side down. Place remaining butter on a fork and brush over the top. Sprinkle with chives or any fresh herbs you desire, and enjoy!
