Pro Tips to Make the Best Ejjeh
Want to make your Ejjeh even better? Here are some pro tips:
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly. There should be no visible streaks of egg whites or yolks. This will ensure a smooth texture.
- Use a non-stick frying pan for cooking the omelette. It will prevent the egg mixture from sticking to the pan and avoid breakage during flipping.
- Let the skillet get hot before cooking the omelette. Adding the egg mixture to a cold skillet may make the omelette burn on the outside while remaining undercooked in the center.
