Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons grated cheese (optional, such as cheddar or parmesan)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives)
Instructions
Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another large, clean bowl.
Add the milk, salt, and pepper to the egg yolks. Whisk together until well combined. Set aside.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat as they should remain light and airy.
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula to combine them carefully without deflating the mixture.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, swirling it to coat the surface of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and use the spatula to gently spread it out evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes on low heat, or until the bottom of the omelet is golden and the top is mostly set.
If desired, sprinkle grated cheese and herbs over one half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the omelet in half using the spatula. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to a minute, just until the cheese melts, if using.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your light and fluffy soufflé omelet!
