Instructions

0/4
  1. Egg preparation

    Crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk with a fork just enough to combine whites and yolks without creating foam. Incorporating too much air makes the omelette lose its creaminess.

    2 min
  2. Seasoning

    Add the fine herbs, grey sea salt, and ground black pepper. Mix briefly to distribute the herbs evenly throughout the mixture.

    1 min
  3. High heat cooking

    Heat a pan over high heat. Add the butter. As soon as it stops sizzling and starts to turn slightly brown (beurre noisette), pour in the eggs. The base must set instantly.

    1 min
  4. Folding

    Push the edges toward the center with a spatula while shaking the pan. When the top is still moist and glossy, roll it over. The center must remain soft and slightly runny.

    1 min

Chef's tips

  • Only salt the eggs at the last moment to prevent them from turning greyish.
  • The pan must be hot enough so the butter browns but sears the egg immediately.
  • The omelette continues to cook on the plate, so remove it when it still looks slightly undercooked.

Storage

Must be eaten immediately. Does not store or reheat well.
