Ingredients

Special equipment:

  • 1 (9-inch) non-stick saute pan
  • Heat resistant spatula
  • 4-ounce ladle
  • Cook's note: The individual omelettes (3 eggs) need to be cooked individually.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

To clarify the butter, put it in a small pot over low heat and slowly bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat until the butter separates. When the milk solids fall to the bottom and the golden butter- fat rises to the surface remove from heat. Set aside

Cook's note: I like to clarify the butter because whole butter has milk solids that will burn. This gives your omelette dark spots.

Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and pour in cream. Add pepper and whisk until well incorporated and foamy.

Preheat the pan over medium heat. When the pan is heated, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of clarified butter. Turn the heat down slightly. Using a 4-ounce ladle, add 1 ladle of eggs into the pan. Using a spatula, start stirring quickly.

Cook's note: This is to heat the eggs through so they set like a custard. Keep swirling them around so the eggs aren't in 1 spot long enough to burn.

Once the eggs begin to set, stop stirring. Put the pan in the oven and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. When you remove the omelette from the oven it should still have a soft custard touch.

Sprinkle with chopped herbs, a pinch of sea salt and cracked white pepper.

Cook's note: Using an oven glove to hold the handle, tip the pan sideways and roll the omelette onto a plate with a spatula.

Serve with roasted mushrooms and watercress.

    I have done this omlette recipe many times and I love it. It comes out fluffy and delicious, even better than most restaurants! I won't make an omlette any other way now. I've put many different types of fillings and even made healthier version with 2 egg whites and one whole egg and it turned out just as good. BEWARE have a really good oven mitt one time I brunt my hand getting the omlette out of the oven even with an oven mitt on. Don't know if I have a cheap oven mitt or what, but just an FYI.

    I have not had a lot of success with omelette in the past. This was a huge success! This recipe is simple and yet makes the most elegant and best tasting omelette we have ever had.
