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:
Cooking Tips: Use a clean, dry bowl and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form — any grease or moisture interferes with volume. Cook over low heat and cover the skillet so the top sets without burning the bottom.
Ingredient Substitutions: If shredded cheese isn’t available, try using finely grated Parmesan or mild cheddar. For dairy-free versions, choose a vegan cheese or omit cheese entirely and increase herbs.
Texture Guide: For ultra-light and airy soufflé, gently fold whites into yolk mixture without overmixing. Remove from heat when still slightly jiggly at center — residual heat will finish the cooking.
Serving Suggestions: Serve immediately while still puffed and hot. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley for fresh color and flavor. Pair with fresh fruit or a side salad for a balanced breakfast.
Timing Advice: Pre-separate eggs so everything is ready before beating. From combining to cooking, aim for minimal delays to maintain the airiness—serve within minutes of cooking for best experience.
