* Note:

- Chicken eggs are the main ingredient, determining the deliciousness of the dish, so you should use local chicken eggs to ensure the best quality.

- Eggs should be kept at room temperature so that they cook quickly and evenly. If you keep eggs in the refrigerator, take them out 1 hour before cooking or soak them in warm water for 20 minutes.

- Choose full-fat, unsalted butters to better control the flavor of your omelet.

* Tips for a delicious omelet

- Beat the eggs evenly, do not beat too much or the eggs will become runny or foamy. If you want softer and tastier eggs, add a small spoonful of butter to the eggs before cooking.

- For a richer egg dish, after folding the egg, brush it with softened butter or crème fraîche before serving.

If you want to add rosemary or caviar to the top of the eggs, this is also a good tip to help them stick better.

Alternatively, you can try another version of the omelet, the soufflé omelette.

This omelet is softer and lighter than the classic omelet as it uses the technique of beating egg whites. Therefore, the outer shell is golden brown, while the inside is soft and smooth, almost melting in the mouth.
