Ingredients
Steps
Prepare a microwave-safe dish by adding a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, combine one egg with one large spoonful of mayonnaise.
Whisk the egg and mayonnaise mixture thoroughly until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared microwave-safe dish.
Microwave the egg mixture for 30 to 40 seconds until set.
Top the omelette with your choice of caviar, mushrooms, smoked salmon, or sautéed spinach before serving.
Notes
Chef José Andrés describes this as the quickest and best omelette in history. The mayonnaise acts as the fat source and emulsifier to keep the egg tender in the microwave.
