Eggs are superior to any breakfast meal. A versatile ingredient that you can fry, boil, scramble, and poach. In this recipe, we’re bringing back a morning classic with a flavorful touch. Omelette or omelet is a dish widely known for its folded appearance with fillings like ham, onions, chives, spring onion, and many more. However, this egg-based dish also has its own culinary variations. Japan prefers Omurice, an omelette perfectly balanced on a bed of fried rice topped with ketchup. The Italian Frittata deviated from the fold and, instead, mixes their fillings with the egg to be cooked in an iron skillet. For this chicken omelette recipe, we’re starting with a western-style base filled with chicken shreds and fresh vegetables for an added texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to make fluffy omelette?

To make it fluffier, you can add one egg white to two whole eggs. Whip it well for an airy and fluffier result.

How do you flip an omelette without it falling apart?

What you can do is use a plate to cover the pan, flip it over, and place the uncooked part back to the pan. Or, use a big spatula (or two) to gently flip it over. But, before flipping your omelette, you need to make sure that the eggs aren’t stuck to the bottom. If they are, they definitely wouldn’t flip and you’d make a bigger mess. So, shake the pan slightly to see if it moves, then flip.
