This delicate and softly cooked dish is popular for a smooth, yellow, non-browned exterior with a creamy, soft scrambled interior. Made in under 5 minutes, a French cheese omelette needs careful cooking. Here are the top five tips for a perfect one.

Use A 6-8 Inch Skillet

This ensures the eggs cook rapidly and uniformly. This perfectly accommodates 2-3 eggs, ensuring the omelette is neither too thin nor too thick.

3-Egg Rule

This focuses on a technique requiring 3 eggs. Mixed with seasoning and butter, all three eggs are whisked until frothy and stirred continuously to create the creamy texture

Focus On Heat Control

Heat control is crucial for that signature pale yellow and no-brown exterior. Cooking over a medium-low heat is essential.

Cooking Eggs On Foaming Butter

Pour the eggs on foaming butter and keep stirring rapidly. This creates a rich, tender, and soft texture.

Use Quick-Melting Cheese1

Opt for cheddar or mozzarella, as they quickly blend with the eggs to create the gooey texture. Quick melting prevents overcooking of the eggs.
