Light and Fluffy Omelet for Breakfast

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

1. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl.
2. Add the milk (or water), a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth, frothy, and slightly pale. This helps incorporate air for fluffiness.

Step 2: Heat the pan

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat.
2. Add the butter (or oil) and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat evenly. The pan should be hot but not smoking.

Step 3: Cook the omelet

1. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the edges to set slightly, about 10 seconds.
2. Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan to let the uncooked egg flow to the edges. Repeat this process until most of the liquid is set but the surface remains slightly glossy.

Step 4: Add fillings (optional)

1. If using fillings like cheese, vegetables, or meat, sprinkle them over one half of the omelet. Be careful not to overload to keep the omelet light and foldable.

Step 5: Fold and finish

1. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the fillings.
2. Let it cook for another 30-60 seconds to warm the fillings and finish setting the eggs.
3. Slide the omelet onto a plate, seam side down.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the omelet hot with a side of buttered toast, fresh fruit, or a simple green salad.
• For extra flavor, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of hot sauce.

Tips for the Perfect Omelet:

• Use room-temperature eggs for better mixing and cooking consistency.
• Don’t overcook! A good omelet should be tender and slightly moist, not dry or rubbery.
• Experiment with fillings to suit your taste—go simple with cheese or create a deluxe version with sautéed veggies and meats.

Enjoy your fluffy, delicious omelet!
