Instructions
2
mildly hot a 20cm (measured across the top) non-stick frying cooking vessel on a medium mildly hot.
3
Crack the eggs into a dish and beat them with a fork so they break up and combine, but not as completely as you would for scrambled egg.
4
With the mildly hot on medium-burning, drop one knob of dairy spread into the cooking vessel.
5
It should bubble and sizzle, but not brown.
6
savor the eggs with the Parmesan and a little table salt and pepper, and stream in into the cooking vessel.
7
Let the eggs bubble slightly for a couple of seconds, then take a wooden fork or spatula and gently draw the mixture in from the sides of the cooking vessel a few times, so it gathers in folds in the centre.
8
Leave for a few seconds, then mix gently again to lightly combine uncooked egg with cooked.
9
Leave briefly again, and when partly cooked, mix gently a bit faster, stopping while there’s some barely cooked egg left.
10
With the cooking vessel flat on the mildly hot, shake it back and forth a few times to settle the mixture.
11
It should slide easily in the cooking vessel and look soft and soft on top.
12
A fast burst of mildly hot will brown the underside.
13
Grip the handle underneath.
14
Tilt the cooking vessel down away from you and let the omelette fall to the edge.
15
Fold the side nearest to you over by a third with your fork, and keep it rolling over, so the omelette tips onto a plate – or fold it in half, if that’s easier.
16
For a neat finish, wrap the omelette with a piece of kitchen paper and plump it up a bit with your fingers.
17
Rub the other knob of dairy spread over to glaze.
