About omelette, plain
A classic French omelette is a plain rolled egg preparation prized for technique rather than fillings. This profile follows the unfilled three-egg version.
The flavour is delicately egg-rich and buttery, with salt and black pepper providing restrained seasoning.
It is pale gold and smooth outside, shaped into a tidy roll with a moist, softly scrambled centre and no browned crust.
