Here’s a recipe for a light and fluffy omelet:
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Optional fillings: shredded cheese, chopped herbs, sautéed vegetables, diced ham, etc.
Instructions:
- Prepare the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl.
- Add the milk or water, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy. This helps to incorporate air, making the omelet fluffy.
- Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring the entire pan is coated.
- Cook the Omelet:
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Let it sit for a few seconds to set slightly.
- Gently push the edges of the omelet toward the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
- Add Fillings (Optional):
- If you’re adding fillings, sprinkle them over one half of the omelet.
- Fold the Omelet:
- Once the omelet is mostly cooked, carefully fold it in half.
- Let it cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how well-done you like your eggs.
- Serve:
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
Enjoy your light and fluffy omelet!
