About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 piece egg
- 1 tbsp full fat mayo
- 1 tsp salted butter
- to taste parmesan
Instructions
- 1Crack the egg into a microwave‑safe bowl and beat with a fork until the yolk and white are fully combined.
- 2Add the tablespoon of full‑fat mayonnaise to the beaten egg and whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- 3Melt the teaspoon of salted butter in a separate small dish in the microwave for about 10 seconds, then stir it into the egg‑mayo mixture.
- 4Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired, and give it a final stir.
- 5Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 30 seconds.
- 6After 30 seconds, remove the bowl, stir the edges toward the center to ensure even cooking, and return to the microwave.
- 7Microwave for an additional 10‑15 seconds, or until the egg is set but still slightly moist on top.
- 8Remove the bowl from the microwave, let the omelette rest for 30 seconds to finish cooking from residual heat.
- 9Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top while the omelette is still warm, allowing it to melt slightly.
- 10Serve the omelette immediately, optionally with a side of toast or fresh herbs.
