Instructions:
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste. Incorporate the full cream milk into the egg mixture. The milk helps achieve a silky, smooth texture for the omelet. -

Heat the Pan:
Place a non-stick skillet over low heat and add a generous pat of butter. Allow the butter to melt and become slightly bubbly but not browned. -
Cook the Omelet:
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly across the surface. Let the eggs cook gently. As the edges begin to set, use a spatula to carefully lift and fold the edges towards the center. This will help cook the eggs evenly without burning them. -
Fold the Omelet:
When the bottom of the omelet is lightly golden and set, but the top is still slightly runny, carefully begin to fold the omelet in half. Use the spatula to gently lift and fold one side of the omelet over the other, forming a crescent shape. Be cautious not to tear the omelet; if it starts to split, carefully press the edges together. -
Finish and Serve:
Once the omelet is folded, allow it to cook for an additional minute or so, just until the inside is cooked to your liking. Slide the omelet onto a plate, and serve immediately.
This continental omelet is a delightful, simple dish that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with your favorite sides. Its creamy texture and delicate flavor make it a versatile choice for any meal. Enjoy the refined taste of this classic recipe!
