Ingredients

Method

1. 01. Whisk eggs, cold water, salt, and pepper in a bowl until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
2. 02. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until it begins to foam but not brown.
3. 03. Pour in the eggs. Use a rubber spatula to push the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan so raw egg fills the gaps.
4. 04. Sprinkle fresh herbs over the surface while the top is still slightly moist. Fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a warm plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why add water to the eggs?

A small amount of water creates steam as the eggs cook, ensuring the final texture is light and fluffy rather than dense.

What if my omelet sticks?

Ensure your pan is a dedicated non-stick surface and use enough butter. Never scrape the bottom with metal utensils.

Can I add cheese?

Absolutely. Add a tablespoon of shredded Gruyère or goat cheese right before folding for extra creaminess.
