Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, crack 4 medium eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk for 1-2 minutes until frothy and well combined.
  2. Fold in finely chopped green onions and grated carrots. Whisk gently to evenly distribute.
  3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over low to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil.
  4. Pour one-third of the egg mixture into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges begin to set.
  5. Using a spatula, carefully lift one edge and start rolling towards the opposite side.
  6. Pour another one-third of the remaining egg mixture into the pan. Cook until new layer's edges start to set.
  7. As edges are set but the top remains slightly runny, use a spatula to roll the existing omelette towards the new layer.
  8. Cook the last layer for about 3 minutes until fully set.
  9. Let cool slightly for 2 minutes, then slice into 6-8 pieces.
