Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 whole eggs
  • salt
Whisk two eggs vigorously with a light sprinkle of salt until homogeneous, no spots of white; rest 10 minutes.
  • butter
Heat the small nonstick pan to about 300F; foam a thin pad of butter and spread it with a silicone whisk.
Add the eggs and stir for a count of five, then once around the edge; repeat five or six rounds until the eggs leave a trail.
Five-count stirring and the roll
Spread the wet curd quickly into an even layer over the bottom with a spatula.
Kill the heat, loosen the edges, and roll the omelet over itself toward the bottom edge of the pan into a torpedo.
Flip immediately onto a warmed plate.
