A Note from Feedfeed
Although the French typically do not add fillings to their omelets, feel free to add your own; such as gruyere, cheddar, or swiss. Fill with spinach or any roasted veggies will work well here. Grace recommends the key to success for a French omelet is to be patient and to keep the temperature consistent.

ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Method
Step 1
In a bowl with a fork, beat eggs and salt together until well-combined.
Step 2
Over medium-low heat, melt butter in an 8-inch nonstick pan.
Step 3
Once butter melts, add beaten eggs. Use the fork to stir around eggs over medium-low heat until the first few soft scrambled eggs start to develop. As soon as the first scrambled eggs appear, stop stirring. Let eggs cook without touching the pan for several minutes. You’ll notice the edges of the eggs cook first. When the edges are cooked, use a spatula to gently lift the corner of the omelette, checking to make sure the bottom isn’t browning. Turn heat down if you see brown spots. Let omelette continue to cook, untouched, until desired hardness.
Step 4
When omelette reaches desired doneness, slide spatula halfway under omelette. Flip one-third of the omelette over into the center of the circular egg. Then roll the omelette on itself so the second third is underneath the omelette and the top of the omelette is smooth.
Step 5
Season with salt, and black pepper as desired. Serve immediately with a simple salad or toast!
