Omelette is one of my all time favorite breakfast, brunch or lunch recipes to make… or you know what. I also have it for dinner quite often! It’s the best “fast food” to make when you want something easy, quick, healthy and delicious! And the best thing is that you can add just about anything you’re in the mood for. This recipe is for a soufflé omelette! It is fluffy, light and a bit more fun than a usual omelette. It feels more filling with a lovely and fluffy texture. I love experimenting with egg dishes, and this soufflé omelette has really become a favorite of mine!
A few tips:
- Make sure you don’t have any egg yolk with the egg whites. Otherwise the egg whites won’t become firm.
- Use a clean (of course always, but be extra careful for the eggs whites) bowl. Otherwise you might risk that the egg whites won’t become firm and form high peaks.
- Add the egg whites gently to the egg yolk, stirring until combined.
- Then add the rest of the egg whites, folding them in just until combined.
- When trying the omelette fry it just until it’s set. You don’t want to fry it for too long since it will become a bit dry and boring.
