Essential Ingredients for a Basic Omelet:
- Egg
- Salt
- Cooking Oil (for greasing the pan)
These three simple ingredients are all you need to create a classic omelet. Everything else is optional but can add extra flavor and texture.
Optional Ingredients to Elevate Your Omelet:
- Cheese
- Parsley
- Lemon
- Sugar
- Flour (1 tsp)
- Milk (1 tsp)
- Keeping the heat low prevents the omelet from overcooking and ensures it stays tender and fluffy. High heat can cause the eggs to toughen and lose their airiness.
- Pop the egg whites in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before beating. This step helps them whip up smoother and more voluminous.
- Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This creates a light, airy structure that will keep your omelet fluffy.
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the yolks with a spatula. This gentle technique maintains the airiness and prevents the mixture from deflating. Avoid using a whisk or mixer for this step to keep the omelet light and fluffy.
