How To – make an omelette, from ‘Jamie Does…’


00:00:00I’m gonna show you how to make an omelet

00:00:02so first of all got a nice non-stick pan

00:00:05quite heavy bottomed on a medium to high

00:00:09heat it’s really recommend you get a

00:00:11nonstick pan for this because it makes a

00:00:13whole job an awful lot easier so when

00:00:15that’s heating up

00:00:16I want to crack my eggs into a bowl I’m

00:00:32gonna season them with a little salt and

00:00:35a little pepper take my fork and just

00:00:43break them up slightly I’m not gonna

00:00:44whisk them totally to make them all nice

00:00:46and smooth because the nice thing about

00:00:48this dish is that if you break them a

00:00:50little bit it gives you a much more

00:00:52marbled look in your omelette and it

00:00:54looks really quite nice so I’m just

00:00:56going to break the yolks just beer them

00:00:58with a fork turn round a couple of times

00:01:01now if you’re making a truffle omelet

00:01:04this is where to add your slices of

00:01:05truffles you can also add herbs if you

00:01:07like or spices depending on all depends

00:01:10on what in making a pans whole goes a

00:01:14splash of olive oil not too much swirl

00:01:20that around and no button

00:01:36swirl it around when it’s nice and

00:01:38melted you know it’s time to get your

00:01:41eggs in the pan here we go okay I’ve got

00:01:50myself a plastic spatula here to help me

00:01:53cooking the eggs in the pan because you

00:01:54don’t want to use metal objects in the

00:01:56non-stick pans not good for the surface

00:01:58and this is the best tool for the job

00:02:00don’t worry about it melting because as

00:02:02long as you’re quick it’s not going to

00:02:04touch the pan for too long and it won’t

00:02:06be an issue so here are my eggs a little

00:02:11bit and straight in right now after five

00:02:23fully eggs away from the sides of the

00:02:25pan and what I want to do get all that

00:02:33uncooked egg on the top onto the bottom

00:02:42so that gets a chance to cook okay let

00:02:48it cook for a second

00:02:51pulley pull the omelette away again and

00:03:00cook tag on the bottom right now if I

00:03:06was making a cheese omelet this is where

00:03:07I had the cheese I was making tomato

00:03:09omelette tomatoes on fresh herbs on and

00:03:12then I’m gonna flip the omelet over with

00:03:15the spatula myself a plate you tip the

00:03:26on way out with them then these are

00:03:34omelet

00:03:37you

00:03:44you
