Name: How to cook eggs without sticking (omelette)

Can cut up so a bit like scrambled egg. Also works for fried egg.

Key is: hot pan, 'cold' fat. Not stirring until set. Using an emulsified fat like butter as keeps a better barrier.

1

Prep everything first. Bread in toaster (but don't put it down until eggs nearly done), whisk eggs in a bowl
2

Heat a pan on high (number 7 on my hob) until a drop of water beads up and dances on the surface - but not hotter or the butter will burn
3

Immediately turn heat to medium (number 3 on my hob) and add butter
4

As soon as butter melted, swirl around then gently pour in the eggs
5

Don't touch!! Wait a couple of minutes until there's a thick white edging telling you it's cooked underneath. If making scramble-style eggs, don't let this brown.
6

Lift up the edge of the omelette, it should lift away easily (if there is resistance, wait a bit longer). Let the runny parts run underneath. Once again, don't interfere for a minute or so.

At this point now it's all about set, I think anything goes and can be more vigorous. If want scrambled eggs, cut it up with a wooden spatula and flip the pieces around. If want omelette, could flip it now if wanted.
