HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE OMELETTE

Step 1: In a small bowl, beat the eggs seasoned with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and whisk some more.

Step 2: Melt a stick of butter in a non-stick skillet. When the butter is completely melted, add the eggs and let them cook a little over medium heat. Go stirring the eggs with a spatula so that the top of the eggs that are not in contact with the skillet can also be cooked.

Step 3: When the eggs are almost cooked, flip the omelet with the help of a spatula and let it fry for about one minute.

Step 4: Turn off the heat and spread a little butter over the omelette.

Step 5: Serve with fries and tomato salad.

RECIPE TIPS

1. If you want to save the omelette for later, allow it to cool to room temperature first. Then, store it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. For best quality and texture, keep the omelette in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days. Beyond this period, it may begin to lose its freshness and texture.

2. For a lighter, healthier omelette, fry your eggs in a drizzle of olive oil rather than butter. Add a burst of color and flavor by mixing in fresh vegetables such as green peas, green beans or carrots.
