Ingredients
- 3 large fresh eggs
- ½ teaspoon cold water
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 pinch cayenne or white pepper to taste (Optional)
Instructions
1. Whisk eggs, water, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Whisk until mixture is very liquid and whites are completely blended in, 1 or 2 minutes.
2. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. As soon as butter melts and before it starts to sizzle, pour in whisked eggs.
3. Stir in a circular pattern with a heat-proof spatula, lifting and scrambling eggs, shaking the pan to keep leveling out the mixture, and scraping down the sides.
4. Continue stirring until shaking the pan no longer levels the eggs.
5. Reduce heat to low. Using the spatula, smooth the surface to move runny eggs to less runny spots, working toward an even thickness.
6. As soon as the surface is wet but not runny, remove from heat.
7. Starting at the handle side of the pan, use the spatula to begin rolling Omelette into a cylinder shape, about 3 rolls until Omelette is about 2 inches from opposite side of the pan.
8. Use the spatula to fold the last flap of egg over the top of the cylinder leaving the seam-side up.
9. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to the pan. Gently push the butter as it melts under the Omelette.
10. Slide Omelette to edge of the pan. Flip onto a plate with the seam-side down. Even out the shape, if necessary.
11. You can tuck in the ends, if you like. Brush surface with a bit more butter. Dust with cayenne pepper.
How long does french omelette last in the fridge?
A French omelette is a delicate dish that should ideally be eaten fresh and immediately after cooking to enjoy its flavor and texture. However, if you have to store it in the fridge, you can do so for up to 2 days. Make sure to cool the omelette to room temperature before placing it in an airtight container and refrigerating it. When reheating, you can warm it up in a non-stick pan over low heat, or you can heat it in the microwave. However, bear in mind that the texture and taste might not be the same as when the omelette was freshly cooked, so it’s better to consume it as soon as possible.
Low calorie french omelette substitutions
To make this French Omelette recipe lower in calories, there are a few substitutions that could be made. Firstly, instead of using 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, a reduced amount of a low-calorie butter substitute or cooking spray could be used to reduce calorie and fat content. Similarly, using low-fat cheese or skipping the cheese altogether would help reduce calorie count. Additionally, swapping the whole eggs for egg whites or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites would also help to reduce calorie and fat content. By making these substitutions, the omelette would still be tasty and satisfying while being lower in calories and fat.
What to serve with french omelette?
A French omelette is a classic breakfast or brunch dish that is flavorful and fulfilling on its own. However, to enhance the meal, you can serve it with a side of toast or fresh fruit for a light and healthy option. A side of bacon or sausage would add a savory touch and a bit of protein to balance out the meal. If you have a heartier appetite, consider serving it with a side of hash browns or roasted potatoes. A cup of coffee, tea, or fresh juice would complement the meal nicely.
Whats the best sauce for french omelette?
The best sauce for a French omelette is a classic combination of herbs and creamy béchamel sauce. To make it, start by making a basic béchamel by melting butter in a pan and adding flour. Cook the mixture on low heat until it turns pale, then gradually pour in warm milk while whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Then add in dried herbs like thyme, parsley, and chives, and season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add in grated cheese for a richer flavor. Drizzle this sauce over your fluffy French omelette and enjoy!
French omelette health benefits
A French omelette, made with eggs, butter, and herbs, provides numerous health benefits. Eggs are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are also rich in antioxidants that help protect the body from inflammation and chronic diseases. Butter adds healthy fats to the dish that aid in better absorption of vitamins from the eggs. Herbs provide a range of antioxidants, flavonoids, and anti-inflammatory properties. The combination of these ingredients creates a nutritious meal that can help support brain function, improve heart health, and maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails.
