Instructions
Read through once, then cook at your own pace with the illustrated guide above.
- 1
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs gently just until the whites and yolks are combined; avoid whipping in excess air.
- 2
Add salt and pepper to taste to the egg mixture, stirring well.
- 3
Heat a rectangular or non-stick skillet over low heat and wipe it with a thin film of neutral oil.
- 4
Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to cover the bottom evenly.
- 5
Sprinkle half of the finely chopped scallions and julienned carrot evenly over the cooking egg.
- 6
As the edges start to set, gently roll the egg from one side to the other to create a cylinder, pushing it to the side of the skillet as you roll.
- 7
Wipe the pan with another thin film of oil before pouring in the remaining egg mixture so it flows beneath the first roll.
- 8
Again, sprinkle with the remaining scallions and carrot, and follow the same rolling technique once the edges are set.
- 9
When fully cooked, remove the rolled omelette from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
