Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 medium (zested and juiced) orange
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) orange marmalade
- 0.5 teaspoons (optional, for garnish) powdered sugar
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
Add the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, orange zest, and about 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice to the eggs. Whisk again until the mixture is smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette while tilting the skillet to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the edges of the pan.
Once the omelette is mostly cooked but still slightly soft in the center, carefully fold it in half and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your desired texture.
Transfer the omelette to a plate and, if desired, spread a thin layer of orange marmalade on top for added sweetness and shine.
Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch, and serve immediately.
