Step-by-Step Instructions for French Omelette Recipe
  1. Begin by cracking 3 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon of sea salt and whisk until smooth and uniform.
  2. Melt 2½ tablespoons of unsalted butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until slightly golden.
  3. Pour the whisked eggs into the hot skillet, cooking for about 30 seconds until the edges set.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low and gently stir the eggs with a silicone spatula to create soft curds.
  5. Once the eggs form soft curds, allow them to spread out in the skillet, then gently pull the edges towards the center.
  6. Tilt the skillet and roll the omelette onto itself using the spatula for a smooth roll.
  7. Slide the rolled omelette seam-side down onto a plate and serve immediately.
