Description
Discover a simple souffl omelette cheese recipe that delivers a light airy texture and rich flavor perfect for any meal or brunch occasion
Ingredients
Scale
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar or a pinch of salt
2 tablespoons grated cheese (Gruyère, cheddar, or mozzarella)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Optional: chopped chives or parsley
Instructions
- Separate the eggs: Carefully crack the eggs, separating the yolks into one bowl and whites into another. Make sure no yolk contaminates the whites for best whipping results.
- Whip the egg whites: Add the cream of tartar to the whites and whisk vigorously with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form—when you lift the whisk, the peaks stand tall without drooping.
- Mix yolks and cheese: Lightly beat the egg yolks with a pinch of salt, pepper, and your grated cheese. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Fold whites into yolks: Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture with a spatula to loosen it. Then carefully fold in the remaining whites, preserving as much air as possible to keep it fluffy.
- Heat the pan: Melt butter over medium heat in a non-stick skillet until it foams and smells nutty.
- Cook the omelette: Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook with the lid slightly ajar for about 3-4 minutes. Watch as the omelette puffs up and the surface sets but stays moist and tender.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle with optional herbs and season further if needed. Slide the omelette gently onto a plate, serve immediately to enjoy that light, cloud-like texture and melty cheesy center.
