2. Prepare a well-seasoned iron skillet by lightly greasing it. Place the skillet in the oven to preheat while you prepare the omelet mixture.

3. Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two different mixing bowls.

4. Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring they are firm but not dry.

5. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks well. Gradually add the flour, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

6. Add the milk to the egg yolk mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.

7. Gently fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. This will help keep the omelet light and fluffy.

8. Remove the preheated skillet from the oven. Pour the omelet mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the omelet is set in the center and lightly browned on top.

10. Once done, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Use a spatula to loosen the sides of the omelet from the skillet.

11. Place a platter next to the skillet. Slide the omelet out of the skillet onto the platter using the spatula.

12. Optional: Arrange asparagus spears in a wheel pattern on top of the omelet before baking, or sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the top for added flavor.

13. Finish by drizzling melted butter over the omelet and seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.

14. Serve hot and enjoy your fluffy baked omelet!
