If desired, you can beat the yolks and whites separately, and then combine them together. To make the omelette look more appetizing on the table, before serving, you can turn it toasted side up.

Omelette Stuffed

Cooking minced meat: fry green peas, sausage in a heated pan with oil, add flour, milk and stew a little. Separately, we prepare an omelette, according to the recipes described above.

This is how the omelette is served to the table.

Japanese omelette

When the omelette is baked, its edges need to be bent two opposite edges to the center of the omelet, and then once again fold the omelet lengthwise. We shift our “package” to the edge of the pan and pour a new portion of the egg mixture onto it so that it sticks to the finished omelette from the edge. When the omelet has set, roll it over the first omelette and pour in a new portion of the egg mixture. Keep doing this until the mixture runs out. We just have to cut the omelet and serve it to the table.
If the soy sauce is very salty, you can add 1/3 teaspoon of sugar to the eggs, and if it is sweet, a pinch of salt

Let's start with a backfill question. What country do you think can be called the birthplace of the omelette? We know that it may seem strange, because everyone knows that this is France. If not for one “but”: this is how eggs were cooked long before the French. For example, in ancient Rome they liked to mix eggs with milk and honey. When the honey was completely dissolved, the mixture was thoroughly peppered and fried until tender. Well, if we look at all known dishes so closely, then variations of their preparation can be found even among the rock paintings. But a more modern version of an omelette really comes from France.

With the preparation of a real omelet in France strictly. This is the first dish that a self-respecting chef should learn to cook. You can beat eggs only with a fork, and fry them only in a pan with a thick bottom and only in butter. And no additives. This is what the original omelette looks like. But we are not French. We are allowed to whip with a mixer, add our favorite spices and toppings, fry in the pan that is available in the house. If you're ready to break with tradition to make a delicious omelet instead of just scrambled eggs, here are some amazing recipes!

French omelette

The preparation of this dish in France is very scrupulous. There is even an opinion that a real French chef should be able to cook a real omelette before all other dishes.

Probably only in France for its preparation there should be a special frying pan in which nothing else is cooked.

A feature of the preparation is that there is no milk in the composition of the products. The French version should not be fluffy, so the eggs do not beat and the lid does not close when cooked. It is fried on one side only. And when it becomes almost ready, it is rolled up.

If it is prepared with a filling, then it is added immediately before the time comes to wrap the finished omelette with a tube. All preliminary procedures with filling, such as roasting, stewing, etc., are carried out separately.

We will need:

  • eggs - 3 pcs
  • butter - 40 gr
  • salt - 1/4 teaspoon
  • ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon

Cooking:

1. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork, making sure that foam does not form.

2. For cooking, it is best to have a pan with a thick bottom so that the heat is distributed evenly. Warm it up on fire and add oil. Wait for the butter to melt and immediately pour in the egg mixture.

3. After two minutes, sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Shake the pan slightly while frying to prevent the base from overcooking. Fry over medium heat until the edges turn golden. The middle will remain slightly viscous.

4. When ready, fold the two edges to the center. Let stand for 15-20 seconds, then fold in half.

5. Transfer the omelette to a plate, serve with fresh vegetables and herbs.


As mentioned above, the French cook it with various fillings. Moreover, each of the provinces has its own branded filling. So in the Alps they use their famous cheeses as fillings, in Normandy apples, in Provence chestnuts, in Poitou - of course, truffles. But in Savoy I add cracklings, to my great surprise.

But when adding the filling, remember that the filling should not be mixed with eggs. It is added only at the very end, before it's time to roll the omelet with a tube. In this case, the filling soaks it well with its flavors, and it turns out incredibly tasty.

Features and secrets of making an omelette

Having considered various recipes for making an omelet today, let's take a closer look at the basic rules for its preparation.

  • Eggs for cooking should be of high quality and fresh. Since it bakes very quickly and the cooking time is very short, this is the general rule.

If you shake an egg, the yolk will dangle in a stale egg. Also, if you put such an egg in water, it will float. It is better not to use such eggs for cooking.

  • Eggs should not be beaten with a mixer. From this, they become too airy, and the omelette will turn out to be brittle and not so tasty.
  • Beat the eggs with a fork or a whisk, while foam should not form.
  • In some recipes, eggs are separated into whites and yolks, and everything is beaten separately. As a rule, the yolks are simply mixed, and the whites are whipped into a strong foam.
  • Eggs are best taken out of the refrigerator in advance and shaken when they are at room temperature.
  • In Europe, as a rule, milk is not added at all.
  • We add milk. And when milk is present in the ingredients, they often use recipes where the ratio of milk and eggs is one to one. In order not to be mistaken, milk is measured by the shell from the eggs.
  • A more delicious omelet will be obtained from milk with a large amount of fat, milk with 3.2% fat content is considered ideal.
  • The milk that is added to the eggs should be either slightly warm or at room temperature.
  • As a rule, flour is not added. But sometimes there are exceptions, especially when they want to get a dish that is denser in consistency. In today's recipes, we did not add flour anywhere.
  • Also, no baking soda or baking powder is added. Someone adds, believing that this way the omelet will rise better. It will rise anyway if you keep the proportions and cook according to the recipe, where it should turn out magnificent.
  • In European countries, olive oil is most often used for cooking.
  • In our country, mostly butter or ghee is used to lubricate the pan or mold. On it, the dish turns out tastier and more aromatic.
  • The frying pan for frying an omelette should be with thick walls, in such a frying it goes more evenly and it will not burn. In extreme cases, you can fry it in a pan with a non-stick coating.
  • If you want it to turn out lush, then do not open the lid or oven door during the entire cooking process. Otherwise, he will fall.
  • Sometimes the omelette needs to be turned over. How to do it? Prepare a glass lid the size of a frying pan. When it's browned on one side, cover the pan and turn it over. After that, put the pan back on the fire, grease the bottom with oil if necessary, and carefully drag it.
  • The filling in it can be anything. And on the example of today's recipes, this can be perfectly observed. The only thing that is not in today's recipes is meat products. Although they can also be actively used. So, for example, in the well-known Bavarian omelette recipe, which is not in our article, there are Bavarian sausages.
  • Therefore, ham, bacon, sausage, sausages, sausages, chicken and meat can be added to almost all recipes.
  • The dish can also be sweet. And today we looked at two such recipes.
  • In fact, there can be many more recipes. Most importantly, do not be afraid to turn on your imagination, and then you can come up with the fillings yourself!
  • Omelet can be cooked in a pan, in the oven, in the microwave, in a double boiler and in a slow cooker. There are also recipes where the egg mixture is placed in a baking bag and then boiled in a pot of hot water until tender. Boiled and baked options are considered more healthy and dietary.
