When it comes to handling eggs to make an omelette (or any dish, for that matter), food safety is always the top priority. Here are some tips on how to handle eggs safely when making an omelette:
1. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling eggs.
2. Crack the eggs into a clean bowl or plate - avoid cracked eggs directly onto the countertop or cutting board.
3. If using raw egg whites, be sure to use a clean utensil (such as a whisk) when incorporating them into the rest of the ingredients - this will help prevent cross contamination.
4. Cook the omelette until it is firm all the way through - no runny bits! This will help ensure that any harmful bacteria present in the egg are killed off.
5. Enjoy your delicious and safe omelette!
