45 second Omelette Jamie Oliver



For those of us who have been struggling and failing with French omelettes, Jamie Oliver has a much simpler method. Keep it thin and use a large nonstick pan.

Another video of this on his Instagram with more instructions from the kitchn. Not sure why he would cut it short for youtube.

All the others end up as scrambled eggs with cheeses.

I've never mastered the technique of jerking the pan. Do you use a pancake turner?

Yeah, having a good nonstick pan with the right amount of butter over the correct heat is a factor, but at the end of the day you just need to get a flat of eggs, some hungry friends, and start cranking them out.

After a few dozen you learn the knack; after a few hundred, they become mindlessly easy; after a few thousand you can do one in 28 seconds.

I make the American style most of the time and the English style sometimes and don't have patience for the French style.

spray it, pour in two eggs, then turn the eye on to just shy of medium. When the bottom is done I flip it and start adding cheese and what not then fold it over and it’s done.
