Delicious omelets cooked with fresh eggs and a fairly large flat-bottomed pan.
In our country, most often at home they use a classic recipe that does not require a wide variety of products: two eggs, two tablespoons of milk or sour cream, salt to taste, 1 tablespoon of butter for frying. Put butter in a preheated pan, and when it melts, pour the eggs mixed with milk or sour cream. When the mixture starts to set, you need to slightly lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula.
Attention! The omelet must be kept moist on top, so fry it on one side only for 6-10 minutes at the lowest temperature. If you are preparing the filling, it can be placed in the middle or next to the omelet on a plate as a side dish.
