What each ingredient does
- Eggs
- Form the set structure of the omelette around the filling.
- Jam
- Adds sweetness and fruity flavour, and moisture when warmed into the filling.
The step that matters
Adding the warmed jam just before folding. Jam added early or left too long can soak into the eggs and make them wet or runny. Adding it just before folding keeps the omelette set and the filling contained.
