How many eggs for omelette for 2 people? ›

5 or 6 if they are medium or large sized chicken eggs, 5 will work for the extra large size. If using duck eggs, 5 is usually plenty. Of course, it depends what kind, and how much, filling you plan to add. If it's a simple herb omelet, you may want to add an additional egg or even two.

Whisking air into the eggs is one secret to a fluffy omelet. Also, if you cook the omelet in a pan that's too large for the number of eggs used, it will naturally be flatter. On the other hand, you don't want to overload a small pan. This only increases the time needed to cook the eggs and can lead to a rubbery omelet.

Add about 1/2 tablespoon water per egg. The water in the egg mixture will turn to steam as the eggs heat to make the omelet a little fluffier.

If you want a lighter (not lighter in calories) and fluffier omelette, you can add a splash of water to the eggs which will create steam as it cooks. Or if you want a richer omelette, you can add a splash of milk or cream.

Begin by cracking your eggs into a bowl (2 or 3) and adding a light seasoning of salt and black pepper before you begin whisking the egg. For a fluffy omelette add a splash of milk or cream and whisk vigorously for around 30 seconds, or as foam begins to appear on the top of the mixture.

First, sauté the toppings that require more cooking time than the eggs, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, bacon and broccoli. I've had many hotel omelets when I'd bite into the eggs and taste raw mushrooms in the centre. Don't do that. Spread the sautéed toppings evenly across the skillet.

What is the secret to a good omelette? ›

The secret to IHOP's fluffy eggs and omelets is a small amount of pancake batter added to the beaten eggs before cooking.

Beat the eggs: Use two or three eggs per omelette, depending on how hungry you are. Beat the eggs lightly with a fork. Melt the butter: Use an 8-inch nonstick skillet for a 2-egg omelette, a 9-inch skillet for 3 eggs.

Gather ingredients

To make scrambled eggs for two, you'll need 4 to 6 eggs, 4 to 6 tablespoons of milk (figure 1 tablespoon of milk for every egg), and salt and pepper to taste. Chopped fresh parsley and other herbs add flavor and visual appeal, but they're completely optional.

Whisk your eggs with the salt until they're well-mixed and uniform. Count on about two eggs per person, so this scrambled egg recipe (which calls for six eggs) serves about three people. Warm butter in a skillet set to medium-low heat. Once it's juuuuust beginning to bubble, pour the eggs in.

The fewer eggs, the quicker it will cook, so you can use a smaller skillet for a one- or two-egg omelette and one that measures 8-inches (20 cm) at the base for a 3-egg omelette. You can use cooking spray in place of the butter or oil.

Eating one to three eggs per day can have several health benefits, but this varies from person to person. At this level of consumption, people can expect minimal changes in their cholesterol levels. It is unclear whether there is an upper limit on how many eggs a person can eat per day.
