Check: Each omelette is fully set and reaches 71°C / 160°F.
Serve · About 1 min

Tips
- Chop the vegetables finely so the omelette holds together.
- Remove tomato seeds to reduce moisture.
Substitutions
- Use spring onion instead of regular onion.
- Omit chili for less heat.
Storage
- Refrigerate perishable food within two hours, or within one hour in heat above 32°C / 90°F. Store covered at 4°C / 40°F or below. Use within two days for this draft.
- Reheat cooked dishes to 74°C / 165°F, stirring or turning for even heating. Serve cold salads, dips and chilled desserts directly from safe refrigeration.
Make ahead
- Prepare the chopped vegetables one day ahead.
- Cook the omelette just before serving.
FAQ
Why did it break when turned?
It may be too large or too wet. Use smaller portions and let the base set.
Can I fold it instead?
Yes. Cover briefly so the centre sets before folding.
Can I use egg whites only?
The structure changes. This draft is measured for whole eggs.
