Whenrepparttar butter is foaming pour some intorepparttar 148087 egg mixture, stir it in and then immediately pourrepparttar 148088 eggs intorepparttar 148089 pan.

Shakerepparttar 148090 pan to spreadrepparttar 148091 mixture evenly. Now, using a fork or thin spatula, drawrepparttar 148092 cooked egg away fromrepparttar 148093 edge ofrepparttar 148094 pan and letrepparttar 148095 uncooked liquid run intorepparttar 148096 space created.

Whenrepparttar 148097 omelet is almost cooked, butrepparttar 148098 surface is still soft and liquid, flip one edge ofrepparttar 148099 omelet towardsrepparttar 148100 center ofrepparttar 148101 pan so that it folds over. Then sliderepparttar 148102 unfolded edge onto a warmed plate, rollingrepparttar 148103 folded edge overrepparttar 148104 top of it as you do so.

An omelet cooked in this way requires no filling, except perhaps some fresh, chopped, herbs added torepparttar 148105 egg mixture about 15 minutes before cooking.

What’s that? Oh yes, all right; if you must you can use olive oil instead of butter.
