Golden-Brown Omelet
A classic French-style omelet made with perfectly beaten eggs and browned butter, optionally filled with caramelized onions, fresh herbs, and Parmesan cheese. The result is a tender, golden-brown exterior with a delicately creamy interior.
Ingredients
- •2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- •3 whole eggs
- •1 to taste salt and pepper
- •2 tablespoons caramelized onions
- •1 tablespoon chopped herbs
- •2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Cooking Instructions
- 1.
Heat a nonstick 8" or well-seasoned heavy steel skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Once butter sizzles and begins to brown, swirl to coat pan. Add 3 beaten eggs and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, pulling up the edges with a heatproof silicone spatula, allowing uncooked eggs to run into pan, until the bottom is golden brown and the top begins to set, 1-2 minutes.
