What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use a non-stick pan to prevent the omelette from sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- 2For a fluffier omelette, add a tablespoon of milk to the egg mixture before whisking.
- 3Ensure all vegetables are chopped very finely so they cook quickly and evenly within the omelette.
- 4Cook on a medium-low flame to prevent the eggs from browning too quickly before they are cooked through.
- 5For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of butter.
- 6Press down gently with a spatula after flipping to ensure the bread gets nicely toasted and adheres to the egg.
