Chorizo Omelette

1 Comment

The trick to getting omelettes to roll and cook evenly is patience and low heat. So that your eggs don’t burn, make sure that you keep your flame at medium low and cover. Each omelette can take 3-4 minutes to make.

For easier cooking, make sure your eggs are room temperature before they hit the pan.
