Kitchen tools needed for this classic omelette recipe

• Mixing bowl: Use a bowl to whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

• Whisk or fork: A whisk or fork can be used to beat the egg mixture until it’s well combined and slightly frothy.

• Skillet: Ideally, this should be a non-stick skillet with or use a non-stick pan spray or cover the bottom of the pan in olive oil to prevent the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning. A medium sized 8 inch skillet will work well for making this omelette recipe.
