Cool Facts
Eggs get beaten. Before cooking, you whisk whole eggs or just the whites with a tiny bit of milk, cream, or water to make them light and airy.
Butter makes it golden. The mixture gets poured into a hot pan with butter or oil, which makes the omelette cook evenly and turn golden brown on the outside.
Fill it your way. You can add almost anything you like inside your omelette, such as cheese, vegetables, mushrooms, meat, onions, or fresh herbs like chives to make it taste exactly how you want.
Folded in half. Once the eggs are cooked through, the omelette gets folded over so the fillings stay tucked inside, making a neat package of deliciousness.
