Making an omelet magnificent is not so simple. This is surprisingly understood by everyone who has mastered scrambled eggs and decided to cook a slightly more complex egg dish. At first everything goes fine, the egg mass in the pan rises regularly, but then it suddenly falls off. And in the end, the dish turns out to be tasty, but flat, not as intended. And that's always annoying. This is where the search for that very, correct recipe for a magnificent omelette begins.

There are many of them. In some, they offer to beat eggs with mayonnaise, in others, add soda. The last piece of advice seems quite dubious: it is easy to misguess the quantity and get a bluish omelette with a very specific aftertaste. So it's better to try another recipe for a magnificent omelette, which we bring to your attention on this page.

Cooking

  1. Gently crack all the eggs into a deep, clean bowl. Salt them to taste, add your favorite spices.
  2. Now pour milk into the same bowl, one tablespoon for each egg. You can take any milk, from skimmed to homemade. You can experiment with melted. Then the finished omelette will have a very pleasant creamy color and an even more pleasant aroma.
  3. Add wheat flour to milk and eggs, at the rate of a teaspoon per egg. This will help the omelette retain its fluffiness after cooking. So it is quite possible to say that in this case flour plays the role of cement. If desired, you can use flour, mixed in equal proportions with starch. Many believe that this will give even more splendor to the finished dish.
  4. Now carefully knead the egg-milk-flour mass. The mixture should be homogeneous, shiny, without lumps, with slight air bubbles.
  5. By this time, it is advisable to heat a frying pan over a fire and melt the butter on it. It is best to take a frying pan for making an omelet with a thick-walled or non-stick coating, always with a flat bottom (not concave!) And high walls. It is also desirable to oil them. Pour the beaten eggs with the rest of the ingredients into the center of the pan. Spread the mass evenly over its entire surface.
  6. If the bottom crust is starting to burn and the top is still quite liquid, tilt the pan from side to side while lifting the omelet with a spatula. The liquid component will flow under it and the dish will not burn.
  7. When the top thickens, you can turn off the stove - the omelet will reach full readiness in a matter of seconds.

That's the whole story about how to cook a magnificent omelet. Flour is not felt in it, but it keeps its shape perfectly. So feel free to cook and enjoy your meal!

French omelette

The preparation of this dish in France is very scrupulous. There is even an opinion that a real French chef should be able to cook a real omelette before all other dishes.

Probably only in France for its preparation there should be a special frying pan in which nothing else is cooked.

A feature of the preparation is that there is no milk in the composition of the products. The French version should not be fluffy, so the eggs do not beat and the lid does not close when cooked. It is fried on one side only. And when it becomes almost ready, it is rolled up.

If it is prepared with a filling, then it is added immediately before the time comes to wrap the finished omelette with a tube. All preliminary procedures with filling, such as roasting, stewing, etc., are carried out separately.

We will need:

  • eggs - 3 pcs
  • butter - 40 gr
  • salt - 1/4 teaspoon
  • ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon

Cooking:

1. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork, making sure that foam does not form.

2. For cooking, it is best to have a pan with a thick bottom so that the heat is distributed evenly. Warm it up on fire and add oil. Wait for the butter to melt and immediately pour in the egg mixture.

3. After two minutes, sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Shake the pan slightly while frying to prevent the base from overcooking. Fry over medium heat until the edges turn golden. The middle will remain slightly viscous.

4. When ready, fold the two edges to the center. Let stand for 15-20 seconds, then fold in half.

5. Transfer the omelette to a plate, serve with fresh vegetables and herbs.


As mentioned above, the French cook it with various fillings. Moreover, each of the provinces has its own branded filling. So in the Alps they use their famous cheeses as fillings, in Normandy apples, in Provence chestnuts, in Poitou - of course, truffles. But in Savoy I add cracklings, to my great surprise.

But when adding the filling, remember that the filling should not be mixed with eggs. It is added only at the very end, before it's time to roll the omelet with a tube. In this case, the filling soaks it well with its flavors, and it turns out incredibly tasty.

Features and secrets of making an omelette

Having considered various recipes for making an omelet today, let's take a closer look at the basic rules for its preparation.

  • Eggs for cooking should be of high quality and fresh. Since it bakes very quickly and the cooking time is very short, this is the general rule.

If you shake an egg, the yolk will dangle in a stale egg. Also, if you put such an egg in water, it will float. It is better not to use such eggs for cooking.

  • Eggs should not be beaten with a mixer. From this, they become too airy, and the omelette will turn out to be brittle and not so tasty.
  • Beat the eggs with a fork or a whisk, while foam should not form.
  • In some recipes, eggs are separated into whites and yolks, and everything is beaten separately. As a rule, the yolks are simply mixed, and the whites are whipped into a strong foam.
  • Eggs are best taken out of the refrigerator in advance and shaken when they are at room temperature.
  • In Europe, as a rule, milk is not added at all.
  • We add milk. And when milk is present in the ingredients, they often use recipes where the ratio of milk and eggs is one to one. In order not to be mistaken, milk is measured by the shell from the eggs.
  • A more delicious omelet will be obtained from milk with a large amount of fat, milk with 3.2% fat content is considered ideal.
  • The milk that is added to the eggs should be either slightly warm or at room temperature.
  • As a rule, flour is not added. But sometimes there are exceptions, especially when they want to get a dish that is denser in consistency. In today's recipes, we did not add flour anywhere.
  • Also, no baking soda or baking powder is added. Someone adds, believing that this way the omelet will rise better. It will rise anyway if you keep the proportions and cook according to the recipe, where it should turn out magnificent.
  • In European countries, olive oil is most often used for cooking.
  • In our country, mostly butter or ghee is used to lubricate the pan or mold. On it, the dish turns out tastier and more aromatic.
  • The frying pan for frying an omelette should be with thick walls, in such a frying it goes more evenly and it will not burn. In extreme cases, you can fry it in a pan with a non-stick coating.
  • If you want it to turn out lush, then do not open the lid or oven door during the entire cooking process. Otherwise, he will fall.
  • Sometimes the omelette needs to be turned over. How to do it? Prepare a glass lid the size of a frying pan. When it's browned on one side, cover the pan and turn it over. After that, put the pan back on the fire, grease the bottom with oil if necessary, and carefully drag it.
  • The filling in it can be anything. And on the example of today's recipes, this can be perfectly observed. The only thing that is not in today's recipes is meat products. Although they can also be actively used. So, for example, in the well-known Bavarian omelette recipe, which is not in our article, there are Bavarian sausages.
  • Therefore, ham, bacon, sausage, sausages, sausages, chicken and meat can be added to almost all recipes.
  • The dish can also be sweet. And today we looked at two such recipes.
  • In fact, there can be many more recipes. Most importantly, do not be afraid to turn on your imagination, and then you can come up with the fillings yourself!
  • Omelet can be cooked in a pan, in the oven, in the microwave, in a double boiler and in a slow cooker. There are also recipes where the egg mixture is placed in a baking bag and then boiled in a pot of hot water until tender. Boiled and baked options are considered more healthy and dietary.

Secrets of a fluffy omelette in a pan

Omelet is loved, if not by all, then by many. This light, affordable and tasty dish can be served for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even a festive table. But do we know how to cook it right? Each housewife has her own secrets of cooking an omelet with milk in a pan, and we will share with you some recipes and nuances of creating this dish.

What is important to know

A pan-cooked omelet can have a ton of ingredients depending on the tastes and preferences of your family and guests. But the main products you need are:

  • milk;
  • eggs;
  • salt;
  • spices;
  • frying oil.

The choice of milk and eggs should be treated with special attention. Products must be fresh. If you want to cook an omelet on yogurt, make sure that it is not winded or covered with a thick film - it is better not to use such sour milk for food.

Omelet is a very simple and satisfying dish that can be prepared both on weekdays and on a holiday.

Take the eggs out of the fridge for 10-15 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Don't forget to wash them to keep the dish safe from salmonella (this is especially true for domestic eggs).

Note! Eggs can be harmful to your health if you consume them in large quantities. Excess protein leads to an increase in cholesterol levels, impaired kidney function. Remember that the consumption rate for an adult is 3 eggs per day.

Oil for frying can be either butter or vegetable. If you care about the figure, and the calorie content of an omelet is important to you, use sunflower or olive oil. You can even use lard, but the omelet in this case will be a little “heavy” for the stomach.

As a frying pan, it is best to choose a cast-iron skillet with a thick bottom. Non-stick pans work well. The main condition is that the dishes must be clean and dry.

The biggest problem that housewives face when cooking an omelette is the difficulty of turning it over. There is a simple way to double-sided fry:

  1. After the omelette is well fried on one side, take a flat wide lid, cover the pan with it. Turn the bowl over so that the egg mass remains on the lid.
  2. Return the pan to the fire. Remove the omelet from the lid, raw side down. It is better to use a ceramic or glass lid.
  3. Add a little grated cheese to the milk and egg mass. Thanks to him, the mixture will become more dense and will not fall apart when turning over.

Secret 1. Eggs and milk

You need to add a lot of milk to the omelet mixture, and do not beat the eggs! They just need to be mixed well with milk.
The more eggs and milk (of course, in the right proportion) - the higher the omelette will be.
You can also make a fluffy protein omelet - you just need to separate the proteins from the yolks and beat them well, and then add milk and salt.
Many people advise adding flour or soda, but this is not true. The fact is that flour gives rigidity and density, and soda can make your omelette with a bluish tint.
