How to Make a Perfect Half-Boiled Omelette
Quick, soft, and delicious – a simple recipe for breakfast lovers

A half-boiled omelette is a soft, slightly runny version of the classic omelette. It’s rich in flavor, quick to prepare, and perfect for those who enjoy a creamy, melt-in-mouth texture. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make the perfect half-boiled omelette.

🥚 Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp oil or butter
  • (Optional) Finely chopped onions, green chilies, tomatoes, coriander, or cheese

🍳 Instructions:

1. Crack and Beat the Eggs

Crack two eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat well until the yolks and whites are fully mixed and slightly frothy.

2. Prepare the Pan

Place a non-stick pan over low to medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil or butter and let it melt and coat the surface.

3. Pour the Eggs

Once the pan is hot, pour the beaten eggs into it. Spread it gently but do not stir. Let it cook undisturbed.

4. Cook Lightly

Allow the omelette to cook just until the edges start to set, but the center remains soft and a little runny. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overcook, or it will turn into a firm omelette.

5. Optional Fillings

If you like, add finely chopped vegetables or cheese on one side. Let them warm slightly without letting the egg cook through fully.

6. Fold and Serve

Fold the omelette gently in half using a spatula. Slide it onto a plate immediately to prevent further cooking.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve hot with buttered toast, paratha, or plain bread.
  • Add a sprinkle of chili flakes or oregano for extra flavor.
  • Enjoy with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a complete breakfast.

✅ Tips for Best Results:

  • Use fresh eggs for the best taste and texture.
  • Always cook on low to medium flame to avoid overcooking.
  • If you like it a bit firmer, you can cook for 30–60 seconds longer.

A half-boiled omelette is all about texture – soft, creamy, and comforting. Once you master this simple technique, you’ll have a go-to dish for any time of day!
