Instructions

Step 1

Preparation of Ingredients

Start by measuring the ingredients for your fluffy omelette. Use a kitchen scale to ensure that the *amount of milk is equal to the amount of eggs.* For this recipe, you will need *6 large eggs* and *250 milliliters (1 cup) of milk.*

Next, break the eggs into a mixing bowl. Be gentle as you do this; you want to keep the yolks intact.

Step 2

Mixing the Eggs and Milk

Once you have cracked the eggs, *lightly beat the yolks* with a whisk. Remember, the goal is to mix without creating a uniform mixture; a few streaks of egg white is perfectly fine.

After beating the yolks, *slowly add the milk* to the mixture. *Do not whisk vigorously* — simply stir gently until combined.

Add *1 teaspoon of salt* to the mixture and stir lightly once more.

Step 3

Preparing the Baking Dish

Take a small, non-flat baking dish and *coat the bottom and sides with butter.* This will prevent the omelette from sticking as it bakes. The butter should be about *25 grams (2 tablespoons)* to ensure the dish is well covered.

Step 4

Baking the Omelette

Preheat your oven to *180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).* Once preheated, pour the *egg and milk mixture* into your buttered baking dish.

Bake for *40 to 45 minutes* until the omelette turns a beautiful golden color. Keep an eye on it towards the end so it doesn’t overbake!

Step 5

Serving

Once baked, remove your omelette from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade fluffy omelette!

Faq

  • Question from Beginner: Can I make this omelette in a skillet instead of baking it?

    Absolutely! You can cook it on the stove at low heat, gently covering with a lid to help it puff up.

  • Question from Beginner: How do I know when the omelette is done baking?

    Check for a beautiful golden color on the top. It should no longer be jiggly in the center!

  • Question from Intermediate: Can I add ingredients like cheese or vegetables?

    Yes! Feel free to fold in your favorite ingredients before baking, but don't add too much, or it may affect the fluffiness!

  • Question from Intermediate: Why do I need to avoid mixing too vigorously?

    Over-mixing can break down the air bubbles that create fluffiness. A gentle stir will keep your omelette airy!

  • Question from Experienced: What type of cheese works best if I want to add it?

    Sharp cheddar, feta, or goat cheese work wonderfully! They add great flavor without weighing the omelette down.

  • Question from Experienced: How can I enhance the flavor without making it heavy?

    Try adding spices like smoked paprika, or fresh herbs like basil or thyme! These add intense flavor without additional weight.
