🕰️ Ready in: 5 minutes
🥣 Servings: 1 omelette
✨ Historical Background
The French omelette traces its roots back to the 16th century and became a symbol of culinary finesse in classic French cuisine. Unlike scrambled eggs or the folded American version, a traditional French omelette is smooth, pale, and delicately cooked — often filled with soft herbs or cheese. It represents elegance through simplicity, made famous by chefs like Escoffier and Julia Child.
At Ez Kitch1n, we’ve kept the technique but simplified the process — so you can enjoy a fluffy, golden omelette in just 5 minutes.
