Ingredients for the Perfect Omelette Recipe:
The beauty of omelettes lies in their simplicity. All you need are a few basic ingredients:

• Oil (such as olive oil, avocado oil, butter, ghee, or bacon grease) to coat the pan
• Salt and pepper to season the eggs
• Eggs (2 for an 8-inch pan, 3 for a 10-inch pan)
• Filling of your choice (options listed below)

Process of Making an Omelette:

1. Saute the filling: Begin by sautéing your chosen filling ingredients and setting them aside.
2. Make the egg base: Whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper until lightly fluffy.
3. Cook the omelette base: Heat oil or butter in a non-stick pan, pour in the egg mixture, and cook over low heat without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Add the filling: Pile the filling onto one side of the omelette, then gently fold the other half over and slide onto a plate. Breakfast is served!

Omelette Filling Ideas:
Get creative with your omelette fillings! Here are a few delicious options to try:

• Tuscan Omelette: Inspired by Tuscan flavors, featuring sun-dried tomatoes, yellow onion, basil pesto, spinach, and crumbled feta cheese.

Answers to Common Questions:

• Why salt the egg mixture? Salt helps tenderize the eggs and keep them moist and fluffy during cooking.
• How to make an extra fluffy omelette? Adding a splash of water or milk to the egg mixture can create a pillowy texture.

Storing Leftover Omelettes:
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, defrost and microwave until warmed through.
