An omelette is a basic dish made by frying beaten eggs in oil or butter. Omelette is eaten across the world so it is made with so many variations. It can be made using veggies, leafy greens, mushrooms, herbs, garlic and even spice powders. It is mostly eaten with toasted bread.

In cuisine, an omelette or omelet is a dish made from beaten eggs, fried with butter or oil in a frying pan (without stirring as in scrambled egg). It is quite common for the omelette to be folded around fillings such as cheese, chives, vegetables, mushrooms, meat, or some combination of the above. Whole eggs or egg whites are often beaten with a small amount of milk, cream, or water.
Ingredients:
- 5 large egg whites
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, halved
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- fresh chive, chopped, for garnish
How to Make Fluffy Omelette
- Separate the egg whites and the egg yolks into two separate bowls. You’ll only need 3 yolks, so discard the other 2 or reserve them for another use.
- Whisk the egg yolks until they become homogenous and pale in colour. Set aside.
- Transfer the egg whites to a large bowl and whisk until they triple in size and become white with medium peaks.
- Carefully fold the egg yolks into the egg whites until fully incorporated.
- Pour the egg mixture into a medium nonstick frying pan with a lid. Cook over medium-low heat until the bottom of omelet has set, about 5 minutes.
- Lift up each side of the omelette and drop a tablespoon of butter underneath.
- Cover the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the top of the omelette has set.
- Remove the lid and season the omelet with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Fold the omelette onto a plate and sprinkle it with chives.
- Enjoy!
