FAQs
Can I use regular pepper instead of ground white pepper?
Yes, regular black pepper can be used as a substitute, though it may add a slightly different flavor and appearance to the omelet.
What if I don’t have Irish butter?
Any quality butter can be used in place of Irish butter. It will still add richness and help prevent sticking while cooking.
