This twist on an omelette is only possible thanks to the Anova Precision Oven. With just the right mixture of gentle, precise heat and high humidity, you can turn out a rich, flavorful egg dish with a whipped texture that's as fast and easy to make as it is delicious. Notes: You can prepare hollandaise sauce in the Anova Precision Oven. The recipe, also in the app, can be prepared first and kept warm in a thermos while you prepare the omelette rolls. Serving a crowd? You can double or triple the recipe, using two or three sheet pans, and cook them all at the same time in the oven using the same time and temperature settings. This dish was inspired by the Striped Omelette recipe in “Modernist Cuisine.”

3. Prepare Omelette Mixture

Combine the eggs, cream, and salt in a large liquid measuring cup or medium bowl. Whisk thoroughly until homogenous. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan. Gently tilt the pan so the egg mixture coats the bottom evenly from edge to edge.

4. Steam

Rack
Transfer to the oven and cook until the eggs are just set, 4 minutes. Do not overcook or the omelette will lose its flexibility and become dry.

5. Cool

Let the omelette cool for 1 minute to ensure the eggs are set. As they cool, the eggs will release from the edges of the pan and become flexible enough to remove in rolled strips.

6. Cut

Use a straightedge, such as a wire cooling rack, to cut the omelette into 1-inch-thick strips with a butter knife.

7. Roll

Working one at a time, roll each strip into a pinwheel and transfer to a platter. If needed, use a small silicone spatula to get the roll started.
