FAQ

How do I keep the omelet from sticking?

Use a quality non-stick pan and ensure your heat is set to medium-low. A light coating of butter or oil is essential.

Can I prepare the spinach in advance?

Yes, sautéing the spinach beforehand helps remove excess water, which prevents a soggy omelet.

What is the best way to whisk eggs?

Use a fork and whisk just until the yolks and whites are combined. Excessive whisking can incorporate too much air, affecting the texture.
