- Season the omelet with salt. You can use regular sea salt or salt with various seasonings. At this stage, you can also add any additional ingredients you prefer, such as fresh or dried herbs, onions, garlic, or other ingredients like bacon, chicken, grated cheese, or tomatoes for a heartier omelet. I'm making a classic omelet without any additional ingredients.
- Prepare the pan in which you will cook the omelet. You can use a cast-iron skillet, a ceramic-coated pan, or a regular non-stick frying pan. Grease the pan with cooking oil, preferably a refined vegetable oil to prevent sticking. You can find more information on choosing the perfect frying pan and the right oil for frying in separate articles, with links at the end of the recipe.
It's essential to note that oils are only suitable for cooking up to a certain temperature, known as the smoke point. Beyond this point, the oil can burn, and harmful substances, including carcinogens, may form.
Another crucial aspect to consider is the choice of the right frying pan. An improperly selected frying pan can negatively affect even the best recipe.
Furthermore, everyone's taste preferences vary when it comes to the degree of saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, acidity, and heat in a dish. Therefore, always add spices, herbs, and seasonings based on your personal taste. If you're using certain spices for the first time, be cautious, as some spices, like chili pepper, can be especially potent.
