The most distinctive feature of a French omelet is that there are no burn marks on it, the outside is fully cooked, and the inside is extremely soft and juicy. A French omelet is an omelet made with only eggs and butter, without filling. The eggs are carefully folded to achieve a soft texture. The French omelet is a feast of flavors, made with technique that takes up 90% rather than ingredients that make up 10%. That's why it's important to practice a little to perfect it. Here's how to make a French omelet, an indispensable part of a delicious breakfast.

  6. Gently transfer the omelet to a plate with the rolled side facing down.
Serving Suggestions
  • If you wish, you can add grated cheddar cheese to the French omelet.
  • You can add finely chopped fresh herbs to the egg.
Expert Tips
  • The top surface of the egg should be creamy, but if it looks too liquid and raw, you can cook it for a few more seconds.
  • When making omelets, the most critical point is to have a pan with a non-stick surface.
  • A plastic or wooden spatula should be used; otherwise, the surface of the non-stick pan may be damaged.
