Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (250 ml) milk, at room temperature
- 1 cup (250 ml) egg mass (from whisked eggs), at room temperature
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Start by breaking the 4 large eggs into a bowl. Whisk them until they are smooth and well-blended.
- Measure out 250 ml of the egg mass and pour it back into the bowl with the remaining eggs.
- Next, measure 250 ml of milk and pour it into the egg mixture. Use a fork to mix everything together until the mixture is smooth.
- Add a pinch of salt to taste, along with any fresh herbs you’d like to incorporate for added flavor.
- Pour the egg mixture into a heat-resistant dish. Place this dish into a larger pan filled with hot water to create a water bath.
- Cover the pan with a lid and allow it to cook for about 20 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the middle rises and becomes fluffy and stable.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the dish from the water bath. Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges of the omelet.
- Flip the omelet onto a serving plate and cut it into portions. Enjoy your fluffy and tasty omelet!
Recipe Notes
- Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature to achieve the best texture.
- Whisk vigorously to incorporate air into the eggs, which helps with fluffiness.
- Experiment with different herbs like chives, parsley, or dill to elevate the flavor.
- Always check that the water is hot before placing your dish in for even cooking.
