Muhahaha, I have mastered the keys to light, fluffy omelets

[Kaido]

A blender. In a nutshell, a blender. Add eggs, milk, salt, and pepper, blend on high for 10 seconds until frothy, pour in skillet over a little less than medium heat. Add stuffing when it starts getting solid (ham, cheese, etc.) and flip in half. Cook until you are happy with it. Voila, restaurant-style omelets ASAP

Tips:
-Use about 1/8 cup of milk for every 4 eggs
-2 eggs make a nice light breakfast, 4 eggs makes a hungry man's breakfast
-The size of the skillet determines the size of your omelet
-Add a dash of dish soap and some water to the blender and put on high to clean quickly

You can thank me after you try it

water is better

 

[Vegitto]

Yeah, you can do that. But don't add the fscking salt, man, that breaks down the fscking egg. Instead of milk or water, add cream. The kind you have to whip. Use this recipe:

Eggwhites, tiny bit of sugar. Whisk until semi-foamy. Add cream. Whip. Add eggyolks, mix. Add pepper, other ingredients. Butter in pan, wait until golden brown. Add mixture. Once semi-solid, add salt. Flip, wait until semi-solid again, add salt. 30 seconds, take it off the heat. Out of the pan, onto your plate.

Cream? Never tried that before. Why does salt break down eggs?

Hmm, I'll have to give that a try, thanks!

I have heard this too, but haven't done a side by side test.

In general I just use straight eggs with a little Mrs. Dash Original Blend when making omelets.

 

[boomer6447]

instead of milk or cream....try sour cream.

I saw Ralphie from the Sopranos do it right before tony bashed is head in..
It makes them taste great.

Holy sh!t. There's a science to omelettes! I'm gonna try this today.

I have no idea, but it does. If you've got sensitive tastebuds, you can taste that a pre-salted egg tastes waterier and has less taste than an egg salted in the pan.

That's exactly what I thought when I was reading this thread...lol

What I always do is break the eggs into a cup, and then add all the ingredients that you want that is not whole (i.e.: red chilli powder, salt, pepper, maybe some tabasco [though I've never tried tabasco before cooking the omelette]) and then give it a whisk with a fork.

Put on pan, cook as usual, and voila!

You're welcome . Some people won't even taste the difference, and think you're talking crap, for some people it's a world of difference.

I'm going to have to try adding cream. Instead of butter, I use olive oil.

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

Olive oil huh? How does that work? I'll have to try that one too. Makes it sound more exotic.

I really can't explain it.. maybe its just my personal preference..

I think it tastes better.. It also seems like butter gets hotter, so your eggs sometimes end up burning and get brown and crisp.

 

[Vegitto]

You can do that. What you can also do is not add butter or olive oil in the pan, but stir it through the mixture. If you're a fan of olives or olive oil, it's SO good.

EDIT: This isn't healthy, and it's actually quite fattening. But damn, it tastes so good.

I'm starting to get ideas for a Greek Omelet

There is a breakfast shop down the road from me that makes an amazing omelet. It consists of broccoli, tomato, and I think feta cheese. It sounds really weird but it's the best omelet I've ever had. They steam the veggies and it is mouth-wateringly gooey goodness

there is this thing on your stove... it's a knob. it usually has various markings on it like 'high' 'medium' and 'low' or numbers from 1 to 10. you'll want to learn how to use it.

QFT. I use half and half instead of milk and whip it by hand for about 30 seconds. A blender would work well too but I hate cleaning them so I just use a hand whip. I also don't mix salt and pepper in. I add that after the omlet is poured into the pan and has begun cooking.

BTW-Try it with a little thinly sliced avocado and some hollandaise sauce on the top. :thumbsup:

using a blender adds air, right? the air bubbles are fluffy

You're using too much heat. Turn the flame down a bit.

That sounds incredible.
