Ingredients:

  • 6 egg whites
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Egg Whites:

    • In a large bowl, allow the egg whites to come to room temperature for about 1 hour.
    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Beat Egg Whites:

    • Using a mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form when the beaters are lifted slowly.
  3. Prepare Egg Yolks:

    • In a separate small bowl, using the same beaters, beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored.
  4. Combine Ingredients:

    • Gradually add salt, pepper, and milk to the egg yolks, beating until well combined.
  5. Fold Egg Yolk Mixture:

    • Using a wire whisk or rubber spatula, gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites until just combined.
  6. Prepare Skillet:

    • Slowly heat a 9-10″ heavy skillet with a heat-resistant handle or an omelet pan over low heat.
    • To test the temperature, sprinkle a little cold water on the skillet. The water should sizzle and roll off in drops.
  7. Cook Omelet:

    • Add butter and oil to the skillet, heating until it sizzles briskly without browning.
    • Tilt the pan to coat the sides with the butter-oil mixture.
    • Spread the egg mixture evenly in the pan and cook over low heat without stirring until lightly browned on the underside, about 10 minutes.
  8. Bake Omelet:

    • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the top of the omelet seems firm when gently pressed with a fingertip.
  9. Serve:

    • To serve, fold the omelet in half and carefully turn it out onto a heated serving platter.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs, if desired.

Tips:

  • Room Temperature Eggs: Allowing the egg whites to come to room temperature ensures better volume when beaten.
  • Stiff Peaks: Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites; stop when stiff peaks form.
  • Gentle Folding: When combining the egg yolks with the whites, fold gently to maintain the airy texture.
  • Low Heat: Cooking the omelet over low heat prevents it from browning too quickly and ensures even cooking.
  • Oven Baking: Finishing the omelet in the oven helps set the top and ensures it’s cooked through without drying it out.

Serving Suggestions:

This Puffy Omelet pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit, crispy bacon, or toasted bread. You can also serve it with a dollop of sour cream or salsa for added flavor. Enjoy it as a luxurious breakfast or brunch option that’s sure to impress!

Now, rise and shine to the delightful aroma of this puffy masterpiece awaiting you in the kitchen! 🍳✨
