Therefore, the omelette is ideal for breakfast.

How to make an omelette in a frying pan - useful tips

To make a delicious omelette in a frying pan, first of all, let's consider the important nuances of cooking such a dish.

Tip # 1

Take special care in selecting milk and eggs. Products must be fresh. If you cook a dish on yogurt, then make sure that it is not covered with a thick film, it is not winded. Such sour milk is better not to use for food.

In order to understand if the egg is fresh and the best, adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Look carefully at the eggshell. It should be homogeneous and matte. If the surface of the shell gleams, the freshness of the product is highly questionable.
2. Weigh the egg in your hand. The product should be quite heavy.
3. Shake the egg near the ear. In the fresh egg, the yolk does not move, so the egg should not make a sound.
4. Put the egg in cold water. In the case when the egg goes to the bottom - it's fresh, if it pops up - it's rotten and it needs to be thrown away.

Important! Before preparing the dish, take the eggs out of the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, so that they reach room temperature. Be sure to wash the product to protect yourself from harmful microorganisms.

Tip # 2

A good frying pan is another important step to success. Requirements that an omelette frying pan must satisfy:

• Strength.
• Sufficient thickness for strong heating.
• High side.
• Non-stick coating.

Important! Best of all, these requirements are met by a cast-iron frying pan with a thick bottom and utensils with non-stick coating. This frying pan is evenly heated and dishes in it do not burn. The most important condition is that the frying pan should be clean and dry.

Tip # 3

The oil for frying the product in a frying pan can be either creamy or vegetable. Without the use of oil, they cook only for a couple. For those who follow a diet, we recommend using olive oil to lubricate the surface of the frying pan. However, the special soft taste and aroma of the dish is given only by butter.

Important! In occasion of a figure it is not necessary to worry - the small slice of oil in any way will not affect it. The main thing is to choose a quality product without foreign smells and additives.

Tip # 4

If during the frying you notice that the bottom crust is almost burning and the upper one is still completely liquid, then tilt the frying pan first into one and then to the other side so that the egg mixture is evenly fried and not burned. Cut the edges of the omelet with a spatula.

Tip # 5

The prepared omelette should be removed from the frying pan gently and gently. To beautifully shift the dish into a plate, proceed as follows:

1. Warm the plate slightly. With a sharp change in temperature, the dish may well shrink and take on an unattractive appearance.
2. Place the plate near the cooker.
3. Once the dish is ready, grasp the handle of the frying pan with your right hand.
4. Place the plate in your left hand.
5. Tilt the pan and plate to each other until the omelet slips into a plate.
6. Adjust the edges with a spatula, if necessary.
7. Lubricate the dish with butter and sprinkle with greens.
