Pour the beaten eggs in when the butter is foaming
Wait for the butter to foam, then add the eggs all at once.
The transcript notes adding the omelette mixture when the butter is foaming (though the presenter struggles to see foam due to the oil).
The short version
- Use the butter’s foaming as a readiness cue before adding eggs.
What goes wrong
Adding eggs before the fat is hot enough
Wait for the butter to foam (or show clear signs of being hot) before pouring in.
Why it works
Foaming indicates the butter is hot enough to start cooking the eggs immediately without scorching.
