fluffy omelette recipe
- Total Time: 7 minutes

- Diet: General (Gluten-Free)
Description
This fluffy omelette recipe offers a simple yet elegant way to prepare light, airy eggs, perfect for a quick and healthy family meal any time of day. This classic method promises a light, airy omelette that is surprisingly easy to master.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- salt, fine sea, to taste
- black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
Instructions
- Prep Your Eggs: Crack 2 large eggs into a clean bowl. Add 1 tablespoon milk or cream, a pinch of salt, and a grind of pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork or a small whisk until the mixture is frothy and pale yellow, about 1-2 minutes.
- Heat the Pan: Place an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon unsalted butter and swirl to coat the bottom and sides as it melts and just begins to foam, about 30 seconds.
- Pour and Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30-45 seconds until the edges start to set and look firm.
- Scramble and Spread: Using a heat-resistant spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center of the pan. Tilt the pan slightly to let uncooked egg flow underneath the pushed sections. Repeat this process until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly moist and wobbly on top, about 2-3 minutes total. (If it is cooking too quickly or browning too much on the bottom, simply reduce the heat to medium-low.)
- Fill and Fold Omelette (Optional): If adding fillings (such as shredded cheese or cooked spinach), sprinkle them evenly over one half of the omelette. Cook for another 30 seconds, allowing any cheese to soften and melt.
- Serve Immediately: Gently slide your spatula under one side of the omelette, then carefully fold it in half directly in the pan. Slide your perfect fluffy omelette onto a warm plate and enjoy right away!
Notes
Do not overcook the omelette; a slightly runny or moist center means a tender, fluffy omelette. Pull it off the heat just before it looks completely set. For infused flavor, stir in fresh chopped chives or parsley with the eggs before whisking. For maximum meltiness, sprinkle cheese over the eggs just after pouring them into the pan.
