One of the things I love about cooking is learning something new, and sometimes learning just doesn’t come easy, a gap in my skills has always been my inability to make a decent omelette. Now not being good at something and having them consistently fail, over time, I stopped trying.
Last night I was hungry, really hungry and I needed food fast. And out of the blue I said “I’m making a damned omelette.â€
Success, at long last! No longer will fluffy light omelettes taunt me from the egg carton. It was a delicious victory.
I discovered that a screaming hot pan and more butter than most people would admit to using* for 2 eggs was the trick. I don’t use non-stick (Teflon is nasty), so to pull this off in a stainless steel pan just makes the victory tastier.
*I used about 3 Tablespoons of French Butter.
