Soufflé Omelette Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, for added flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley)
Prepare the Egg Whites:
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Mix the Egg Yolks:
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. If using cheese or herbs, fold them into the yolk mixture.
Combine Mixtures:
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Use a spatula to combine them carefully, preserving as much air as possible.
Cook the Omelette:
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted and bubbly, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Spread it evenly.
Cook Gently:
Cook the omelette over low heat, without stirring, until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes. You can cover the skillet with a lid to help the top set without flipping.
Finish and Serve:
When the omelette is cooked through and fluffy, gently fold it in half or thirds. Slide it onto a plate and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes:
Egg Whites: Ensure that your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry for the egg whites to whip properly.
Cooking Temperature: Use low heat to avoid burning the omelette while allowing it to cook through and rise.
Cheese and Herbs: Optional additions like cheese or fresh herbs can enhance flavor. Fold them in gently to avoid deflating the egg whites.
Serving: The soufflé omelette is best served immediately while it is still soft and fluffy.
