1. Melt Butter and Oil
Start by melting the butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook Apples
Once the butter has fully melted and combined with the oil, add the apple wedges to the skillet. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the superfine sugar over the apples. Allow the apples to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and lightly browned. As they cook, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar gradually, which helps in caramelizing the apples.
3. Beat Eggs
While the apples are caramelizing, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until they are well mixed.
4. Combine Apples and Eggs
Once the apples are done and have a lovely caramelized look, remove them from the skillet and carefully fold them into the beaten eggs.
5. Cook Omelet
Preheat your broiler. Reheat the skillet with any remaining butter mixture over medium heat until it starts to sizzle. Pour the egg and apple mixture back into the skillet, ensuring the apples are evenly distributed. Let the mixture cook for about 2 minutes, just until the edges start to set.
6. Broil Omelet
Next, place the skillet under the broiler for a brief moment to set the top of the omelet while keeping the inside creamy. Remove it once the top has lightly browned.
7. Serve
Serve the caramelized apple omelet hot, and enjoy the delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors.
Choose apples that hold their shape and have a balance of sweet and tart flavors, like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji.
A good non-stick pan is essential for omelets. It allows for easy flipping and folding without sticking or tearing the omelet.
The key to perfect caramelization is patience. Don't rush the apples; let them cook slowly to develop deep flavors. Stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even caramelization.
Cook your omelet on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking or browning too quickly. This allows the eggs to set gently and evenly.
Whisk the eggs until completely homogeneous and slightly frothy. Incorporating air will make your omelet lighter and fluffier.
