The omelette is a typical recipe of French cuisine, and no… it’s not an omelette! In fact the two recipes and they look like both from the point of view of the ingredients and in their appearance, but in reality they are two different dishes.

A difference of a classic Italian omelette, the omelette is prepared leaving the eggs less cooked, or as they say, blenny. Indeed, its texture is bella humidspongy, soft, and this is possible thanks to a quick cooking over low heat.

The other difference is in the ingredients: milk (or cream) is added to the eggs, but as we will see, it is also possible to use other foods for the filling. What are you saying, Shall we cook? Let’s see all the photo steps or the video recipe.

How to make omelette: basic recipe

1. Break the eggs in a glass bowl.

2. At this point, beat the eggs with a whip and slowly add the milk with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Heat a pan on the stove with some burroso as to grease it well: in this way you will not risk that the egg remains attached to the base.

4. When the pan is hot, pour the mixture inside.

5. Let it cook for a few minutes: the effect you’ll have to obtain is a very light browning at the bottom and an even consistency slime up. As soon as it starts to firm up on the edges, cover with a lid and cook over a very low heat until you get the desired result.

6. When you find yourself in this situation, you will need to fold the omelet over itself. To do this there are those who simply flip it over with the help of a spatula, creating the classic crescent shape or by closing the two flaps, and who instead blows it up by hitting the handle of the pot and rolling it several times. You use the technique you prefer, the important thing is to act quickly or else the egg will be too cotto!
