Don’t overcook your eggs—they should still be slightly creamy in the middle.

Pre-chop and measure ingredients so you can work quickly once the eggs hit the pan.

While omelettes are best fresh, you can store leftovers:

In the fridge for up to 2 days, tightly wrapped.

Reheat gently in the microwave or on a skillet.
