In this article, I will tell you how to cook delicious omelettes with different fillings, as well as how to make an omelet lush and airy as in kindergarten in our childhood. For many, the recipe for a magnificent omelet is still a mystery, but there is nothing complicated in it and you will see for yourself.

An omelet is a great nutritious breakfast for the whole family, both adults and children love to eat it. But who said that you can not cook a delicious ruddy omelet with sausage and cheese for dinner? Or an omelet with tomatoes for lunch? There are no restrictions and the limits of your imagination too. Although it is worth making a few caveats, do not put anything in the omelet. Start by studying the classic recipes, because someone has already tried everything before you and chose the best. Let's use the experience of other culinary specialists to acquire our own.

The omelet has come down to us as a dish of French cuisine, at least its name, but many peoples have their own ways of preparing an omelet and, of course, its name. The most important thing in an omelette is the eggs and the correctness of their preparation. Remember what James Bond said about his cocktail: "Shake, don't mix." With an omelet, everything is exactly the opposite, the eggs for it should be mixed, but not beaten. And even a fluffy airy omelet is prepared without serious whipping with a mixer.

You can cook omelets different ways: fry them in a pan, bake in the oven, cook in a slow cooker. But all the recipes in one article cannot be covered, so this time I will describe those recipes that we can cook on regular frying pan. After all, almost everyone has a frying pan and a stove, which means there will be an omelet!

So let's move from theory to practice to see this.

Classic omelette with milk in a pan - a simple recipe

To get started, let me tell you how to prepare the simplest omelet with milk. It is without fillings and additions, and all its charm lies only in a delicate egg taste. Many people love just such an omelette most of all, it is an ideal dietary breakfast rich in proteins and energy. An omelet with milk can also be prepared for children, even small enough, for them the main thing is to make it without a crust so that it remains tender and soft.

In order to cook the right omelet, you will need a bowl or a deep plate, a medium diameter frying pan with high walls and a lid, preferably with a thick bottom. A wide spatula will also come in handy to remove a tender omelet from the pan without tearing.

Of the products you will need the simplest:

  • eggs - 2-3 pieces per serving,
  • milk - 50 ml for 2 eggs,
  • salt and pepper to taste,
  • frying oil.

Cooking:

An omelette with milk cooks very quickly and therefore it is best to put a frying pan to warm up in advance, especially if you have electric stove which will take a little longer to do so. Immediately heat up not to the maximum fire, but slightly above average. Pour some vegetable oil into the pan. frying pans with non-stick coating allow you to fry without oil, but only do this if you are one hundred percent sure that nothing will stick. Omelet with milk is very tender.

Break eggs into a deep plate for one serving of omelet. Usually it is 2 or 3 eggs for adults.

Stir the eggs with a fork to mix the white and yolk. Pour in the milk and add a pinch of salt to your taste.

Now stir again with the same fork, whisking quite a bit. We do not do this with a mixer precisely because the egg should not turn into foam, but only slightly fill with bubbles.

Stir the egg like this for literally one minute and immediately pour it into the hot pan.

The omelette will immediately begin to fry from the bottom side. As soon as you see that the edges have begun to thicken, then reduce the heat of the burner and finish cooking the omelet on low heat. This is necessary so that it is completely baked, but at the same time not overcooked from below. You can cover the omelet with a lid and cook under it until all signs of liquid eggs disappear.

The omelette is usually baked from the edges to the middle, as soon as the middle has ceased to be liquid, the omelette is ready and can be removed.

It is very difficult to remove a thin omelet with an even “pancake”, so you can remove it by folding it in half with a spatula or twisting it into a tube. If your omelette is thick, a large number eggs, then remove it with a wide flat spatula.

Ready omelette can be sprinkled with herbs and pepper. Have a delicious breakfast!

Omelet with cheese in a pan without milk

Another very tasty and popular omelet option is with cheese. In order to deviate a little from the previous recipe, we will make it without milk. It won't change the taste much. If you want milk to still add that, take the proportion from the first recipe.

Why cheese? The main secret omelets with cheese so that the cheese melts and preferably inside the omelet or at least on top. Can be cooked as open way, simply by sprinkling cheese on top of the eggs, or closed, when cheese is poured on one half of the omelet, and the second is covered in the form of an envelope. Then the cheese inside melts and it starts to stretch deliciously.

For such an omelette, your favorite cheese is suitable, but it is good if it melts well. Soft varieties like mozzarella can also be used, but they have a mild flavor and will get a little lost with the egg. I usually take the usual yellowish hard cheese, such as gouda or sour cream, tilsiter or Russian. Choose according to your taste.

To prepare such an omelette with cheese, we need 2 eggs per serving, and 50 grams of grated hard cheese. Salt, fresh herbs and some oil for the pan.

Cooking:

Heat a frying pan over medium heat, pour just a little oil into it so that the omelet easily lags behind when cooked.

In a cup or plate, stir two eggs until smooth and a little frothy. Mix better with a fork or whisk, literally one minute. Salt the mixture to taste. you can add pepper.

Then pour the mixture into the skillet in an even layer and fry over medium-low heat.

As soon as the middle is no longer liquid, sprinkle the omelette with grated cheese on a coarse grater. You can fold the omelet in half to make an envelope and the cheese inside melts.

Cover and let stand for another 2-3 minutes, then remove the hot omelet, put on a plate and serve. The hot melted cheese will stretch every time you cut off a slice of the omelet.

Bon appetit!

Omelet with tomatoes and cheese in a pan - step by step recipe

There is absolutely nothing complicated in cooking an omelette with tomatoes. If you want to cook a delicious breakfast, and there is at least one tomato and some cheese in the refrigerator, then you will get a wonderful dish.

The butter should only have time to melt and immediately pour the eggs.

Beat the eggs a little with a fork until bubbles of light foam appear, pour milk into them and stir again.

After that, pour into a hot pan and fry over low heat until the middle is no longer liquid.

During this time, cut the tomatoes into slices, and grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Put the tomatoes in an almost ready omelette and sprinkle grated cheese on top. You can cover with a lid and bring the omelet to readiness. You can also fold the omelette in half into an envelope and the tomatoes and cheese will turn into a delicious filling.

After a couple of minutes, the omelette will be ready and it's time to serve it on the table while it's fresh and hot.

In this case, it is worth changing the cooking method and giving preference to steam options. Although for the oven and double boiler you need a minimum of oily product. Exclusively for mold lubrication.

Omelets are loved by everyone from young to old. This is what is customary to start the morning in almost every country. A little fantasy and the omelette will “sparkle” with new colors and will certainly appeal to all connoisseurs of the egg miracle.

This simple dish is familiar to everyone since childhood. After all, it is in kindergarten that children are often served a magnificent juicy omelet.

But as soon as the hostess begins to cook an omelette at home, failure awaits her. The omelette, which a few minutes ago was so high in the pan, hit the plate, suddenly fell off, turning into a thick pancake.

Homeland omelet - France. It is there that no breakfast is complete without this dish. But the classic omelet is prepared without milk - on eggs alone. True, with all sorts of additives: cheese, tomatoes, ham.

Adding milk or other dairy products - sour cream, kefir, cream - this is already the freedom of the housewives. And milk is good for scrambled eggs. It turns out fluffy and porous.

Subtleties of cooking

  • Only fresh eggs are used for omelets. Before use, they must be washed in warm water to prevent the ingestion of such a dangerous infection as salmonellosis.
  • Eggs are mixed with milk and lightly beaten with a whisk or fork. Do not use a mixer for this purpose. Excessive foam adversely affects the quality of the omelette.
  • To make the omelette more fluffy, the yolks are separated from the proteins, mixed with milk and lightly beaten. Then the whites whipped into a stable foam are mixed in.
  • The quality of the omelet depends on the amount of milk. Those housewives who pour milk by eye are mistaken. The fact is that excess milk raises the omelet well in the pan, but immediately after turning off the stove, it falls off a lot. Therefore, milk is poured strictly according to the norm: 15 ml of milk is taken per egg.
  • The choice of pan also affects the quality of the omelet. In a thin-bottomed pan, the omelette burns quickly, while remaining raw inside. Cast iron pans or modern non-stick pans are ideal for making omelettes. In any case, the bottom should be thick.
  • Fried omelet on creamy, melted, vegetable oil, on lard or fat. It is better not to use margarine and spread, as they can give the dish an unpleasant aftertaste.
  • Omelet is prepared not only from eggs and milk, but also with the addition of other ingredients. Sausages, tomatoes, zucchini, onion and other vegetables that need heat treatment, first fried in a pan, and then poured with an egg-milk mixture. If they are mixed immediately with the omelet mass, then this will significantly worsen the quality of the omelet. Greens are immediately mixed with eggs or sprinkled with a ready-made dish.
  • The egg mixture is poured into a well-heated frying pan, greased with oil. Then the fire is reduced to a minimum, the dishes are covered with a transparent lid.
  • When the edges of the omelette mass just grab and turn white, with a fork or spatula they are gently moved to the middle. Punctures are also made in the omelette so that the liquid flows down.
  • Then the pan is closed again with a lid and the process is no longer interfered with. As soon as the whole omelette rises and thickens, it is ready.
  • Flour is sometimes added to the egg-milk mixture. The omelet becomes denser and holds its shape better. In this case, the amount of milk is increased.
  • Very often, the finished omelette falls off due to the temperature difference between the pan and the plate. Therefore, the omelette plate is preheated.
  • For high omelet take a narrow frying pan.
  • A stuffed omelette is cooked in a wide frying pan without a lid, as a thick omelette is difficult to bend in half. In this case, each portion is fried separately.

Story

It would not be an exaggeration to say that an omelette is an ancient food, because the technology lies on the surface! In France, the word omelette has been known since the 16th century; Rabelais himself mentioned it in Gargantua and Pantagruel. True fame came to the egg dish thanks to Napoleon Bonaparte. According to legend, when Napoleon and his army traveled through southern France, they decided to spend the night near the town of Beceres. The emperor liked the omelet prepared by the local innkeeper. The next morning, he ordered the townspeople to collect all the eggs in the area and cook a huge omelette for his army. We will never know how big it was or how much it weighed, but we do know that in 2012 in Portugal they cooked an omelet from 145,000 eggs in a 10.3-meter frying pan weighing 6,466 kg!

Technology and tradition

The main thing to know about omelet technology is that the liquid egg mixture is not whipped or stirred during cooking, but is thickened solely by heating in a well-heated pan in melted butter. The lid is not covered - a French omelet should not turn out magnificent, this is not a soufflé. Before serving, the omelet is folded in half or rolled into a tube. You can put stuffing inside.

Omelettes in the USSR were cooked differently. With milk, often with a spoonful of flour or starch, with a covered pan over low heat or in the oven. "Our" omelettes, compared to classic recipe, traditionally lusher and juicier. Such, for example, is the iconic "omelette, like in kindergarten."

Each has its own variation of an omelet. national cuisine. These are Italian frittata, and English omelette with the same bacon, Spanish tortilla espanola, Bulgarian mish-mash, Iranian kyukyu, Japanese omurice and tamagoyaki, and so on for a very long list.

Eggs

  • For an omelette for 1 person, 2-3 eggs will go. If you decide to make an omelet for several people, 1 large one for everyone, of course, you can, but it’s better to have several small, portioned ones, then the omelette turns out to be more tender. Fresh eggs are good for omelets, and the fresher the better.
  • It is not necessary to beat and foam the eggs, it is enough to mix the yolk and protein so that a single substance is formed.
  • The dish is prepared without stirring the egg mass, and this distinguishes an omelette from scrambled eggs.

Butter

Nothing compares to an omelet cooked in butter. For 2 eggs, 1 tsp is enough. It is permissible to cook on vegetable or on a mixture of vegetable and creamy.

Pan

  • Size matters: if the pan is too small, the omelet will be thick and spongy. If it's big, wait for a pancake instead of an omelet. For an omelette of 3 eggs with a thickness of 5 mm, a frying pan with a diameter of 14-15 cm is ideal.
  • Since the pan needs to be very hot, it should have a thick bottom. The first thing that comes to mind is Cast-iron pan. But she is very heavy! It is also important that nothing stick to the bottom. Suitable frying pan for cooking omelettes - with a non-stick coating and a solid bottom.
  • The pan must be very dry and hot. The temperature is understandable - the omelette is cooked in a well-heated pan. But pre-treatment with salt will make it dry. Wipe the bottom and sides thoroughly with a paper towel and salt, and then clean with the same towel to perfect condition.

Advice. Never keep empty frying pans on fire (maximum allowable for your finger to be hot) - such pans very quickly lose their internal structure, and food begins to stick to them.
