Notes
Tips:
- Do one egg at a time. This will insure evenly sized omelettes.
- Keep the heat low and stay attentive to the cooking. I use my spatula to lift the edge so I can see the bottom of the omelette to see how it is cooking.
- Have all you ingredients ready before starting the cooking process.
- Above all else have fun. If the omelette flops make it a scramble.
- remember if you don’t succeed the first time, try and try again!
