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.
