Recipe Tips
Pro Tips for Omelet Success
Temperature Matters: Room temperature eggs whip to greater volume than cold ones.
Bowl Cleanliness: Even a trace of fat in your bowl or on your whisk can prevent egg whites from whipping properly. Wipe everything with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any residual oil.
Gentle Folding: Use a rubber spatula and a light hand when combining the whites and yolks. Cut down through the center, scrape along the bottom, and fold up and over. Rotate the bowl a quarter turn and repeat until just combined.
Don't Peek: Keep the oven door closed during baking to prevent temperature drops that could cause your omelet to collapse.
Timing is Everything: Have all toppings and accompaniments ready before your omelet comes out of the oven, as it should be served immediately for the most impressive presentation.
