What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For a fluffier omelette, make sure not to over-whisk the eggs; just combine them well.
- 2Use a non-stick skillet that is about 8 inches in diameter for the best results.
- 3Cook on medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from browning too quickly and becoming tough.
- 4Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like mushrooms or chopped tomatoes.
- 5For easy cleanup, add the cheese once the omelette is on the plate to avoid it sticking to the pan.
