True, in those distant times, an omelette was a sweet dish made from eggs and honey, and served for dessert. The same omelette that we all know and love today came to us from France, where it successfully turned into a hearty, tender and extremely tasty hot dish. A dish that even adorned royal tables and was accessible to any poor person, several centuries later it pleases us too. Let's try to figure out how to cook an omelet today.

At first glance, there is and cannot be anything complicated in preparing an omelet. Lightly beaten eggs, a little cream, salt and spices, a few simple manipulations with a hot frying pan, and our omelette is ready. Quite simple, right? But why then, instead of a tender, aromatic, melt-in-your-mouth omelette, do we often see dry, not very appetizing scrambled eggs on our plate, more like a clump of cotton wool? The thing is that preparing even such a simple dish as an omelette requires some preparation, knowledge of little secrets, dexterity and patience.

In preparing an omelette, everything is important, every movement, every manipulation of yours must be precisely verified and perfected, because an omelette is prepared in a matter of minutes. Your patience and practice will help you with this. Perhaps not the first time, but everything will definitely work out, and you will be able to surprise and delight your friends and loved ones with a delicious, tender and deliciously light omelette. And knowing the basic principles of cooking will open up wide spaces for your imagination. After all, various additives and fillings give the omelette a special taste and real piquancy of the royal dish. What not to prepare omelettes with! Pieces of poultry and meat, vegetables and mushrooms, herbs and delicious spices, even fruits and jams will not only not spoil the taste of your dish, but will give it a special taste and charm.

Today, “Culinary Eden” has collected and recorded for you the most important tips and secrets, thanks to which even beginner housewives who are not yet completely confident in their abilities will always know how to cook an omelette.

1. Everyone knows perfectly well that an omelet is cooked in a frying pan. But before you put your emergency frying pan on the fire, think about whether it meets all the necessary requirements? The specifics of preparing an omelet are such that the pan must be thick and strong enough to withstand the strongest heat, while distributing the heat evenly over the entire bottom. In addition, the inner surface of the pan must be reliably protected from the slightest possibility of food sticking, because during the entire cooking time you will have to shake and move your omelette. These requirements are best met by cast iron frying pans, which are characterized by a thick bottom and uniform heating. In addition, modern Teflon-coated frying pans also do an excellent job of preparing omelettes. However, it will be much better if even your Teflon frying pan has a bottom no thinner than 0.5 cm, this will protect you from possible burning of your dish.

2. It is very important to approach with special care the choice of the main product from which the omelet is prepared. To the choice of eggs. Eggs for an omelet should be as fresh as possible, the best, because both the consistency and taste of the finished dish will depend on their freshness. Checking the freshness of eggs is not at all difficult. Pay attention to the shell, it should be an even, matte color. A shiny shell will indicate to you that the product is of questionable freshness. Weigh the egg in your hand. It shouldn't be too light. Gently shake the egg near your ear. You shouldn't hear anything; in a good fresh egg the yolk is completely motionless. Otherwise, refuse to purchase, the eggs are probably spoiled. When you bring it home, dip the egg in water. A good fresh egg will sink immediately. Eggs that float can be safely thrown away; they are not suitable for cooking.

3. No matter what your nutritionist says, the best oil for making omelettes has been and will always be butter. Of course, in keeping with modern trends, you can prepare an omelette with both vegetable and extremely popular and healthy olive oil. But once you try an omelet fried in real delicious butter, you will notice that the difference in taste is too great to deny yourself a little pleasure. Moreover, you need very little oil to prepare an omelette; one 20-gram piece is enough. Just try to choose the freshest, most delicious and aromatic butter that does not have any foreign odors or additives.

4. The most detailed recipe for preparing a real French omelette was left to us by the magnificent Julia Child. Break 3 eggs into a separate bowl, add salt and black pepper to taste and beat lightly with a fork until the yolks and whites are just combined. Heat a frying pan over high heat, add 1 tbsp. spoon of butter and carefully tilt the pan in all directions so that the oil is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the bottom. As soon as the butter finishes foaming, immediately pour the beaten eggs into the pan, shaking the pan slightly by the handle so that the eggs are evenly distributed along the bottom. Let the eggs thicken for 10 seconds over high heat, stirring quickly with a fork, and then begin to gently pull the pan toward you so that the omelette pools at the opposite end of the pan. Then tilt the pan over the fire at an angle of 45⁰ away from you and give 5 - 6 not too strong taps on the handle, forcing the omelette to curl. During these manipulations, your omelette will be completely baked and ready to serve. That’s right, in less than a minute you get a real, very soft and tender French omelette on the inside and rosy on the outside.

5. In order to correctly transfer the omelette from the frying pan to the plate, you will also have to practice a little. Before you start preparing the omelet, preheat the plate and place it on the table next to the stove. The second your omelette is ready, quickly turn the handle of the pan to the right and grab it from below with your right hand, so that your palm is under the handle. Take the plate in your left hand and bring it to the frying pan. Tilt the plate and pan toward each other, flipping the pan toward the center of the plate. Your omelette should fall safely and neatly from the pan to its place on the plate. If necessary, trim the edges of the omelet using a spatula. All these operations should be performed as quickly as possible! Now brush the omelette with a little butter, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

This simple dish is familiar to everyone since childhood. After all, it is in kindergarten that children are often served a lush, juicy omelet.

But as soon as the housewife starts preparing an omelette at home, failure awaits her. The omelette, which just a few minutes ago was so high in the frying pan, hit the plate and suddenly fell, turning into a thick pancake.

The birthplace of the omelet is France. It is there that no breakfast is complete without this dish. But the classic omelet is prepared without milk - using only eggs. True, with all sorts of additives: cheese, tomatoes, ham.

Adding milk or other dairy products - sour cream, kefir, cream - is the housewife's discretion. Moreover, milk is good for the omelette. It turns out lush and porous.

Subtleties of cooking

Only fresh eggs are used for omelettes. Before use, they must be washed in warm water to prevent dangerous infections such as salmonellosis from getting into the food.
Mix the eggs with milk and lightly beat with a whisk or fork. You should not use a mixer for this purpose. Excessive foam negatively affects the quality of the omelette.
To make the omelette more fluffy, separate the yolks from the whites, mix them with milk and lightly beat. Then mix in the whites whipped into a stable foam.
The quality of the omelet depends on the amount of milk. Those housewives who pour milk into the eye make a mistake. The fact is that excess milk raises the omelette well in the frying pan, but immediately after turning off the stove it drops significantly. Therefore, milk is poured strictly according to the norm: 15 ml of milk is taken for one egg.
The choice of pan also affects the quality of the omelet. In a frying pan with a thin bottom, the omelette burns quickly, remaining raw inside. Cast iron frying pans or modern ones with a non-stick coating are ideal for preparing omelettes. In any case, the bottom should be thick.
Fry the omelet in butter, melted butter, vegetable oil, lard or lard. It is better not to use margarine and spread, as they can give the dish an unpleasant aftertaste.
Omelette is prepared not only from eggs and milk, but also with the addition of other ingredients. Sausage, tomatoes, zucchini, onions and other vegetables that need heat treatment are first fried in a frying pan and then poured with an egg-milk mixture. If you mix them directly with the omelette mixture, this will significantly deteriorate the quality of the omelette. The greens are immediately mixed with eggs or sprinkled on the finished dish.
The egg mixture is poured into a well-heated frying pan, greased with oil. Then the fire is reduced to a minimum, the dishes are covered with a transparent lid.
When the edges of the omelette mass just set and turn white, use a fork or spatula to carefully move them towards the middle. They also make punctures in the omelette so that the liquid flows down.
Then the pan is closed again with a lid and the process is no longer interfered with. Once the entire omelette has risen and thickened, it is ready.
Flour is sometimes added to the egg-milk mixture. The omelette becomes denser and holds its shape better. In this case, the amount of milk is increased.
Very often, the finished omelette falls due to the temperature difference between the pan and the plate. Therefore, the omelette plate is preheated.
For a tall omelette, use a narrow frying pan.
The stuffed omelette is cooked in a wide frying pan without a lid, since a thick omelette is difficult to bend in half. In this case, each portion is fried separately.

Calorie content

Connoisseurs of healthy food and those who prefer to lead a healthy lifestyle know very well that omelet is a first-class dish for maintaining an ideal figure. Before preparing it, they are certainly interested in how many kilocalories they will ultimately receive with it.

First of all, it is recommended to pay attention to the size of the egg itself. The average size of the first category is about forty grams. Thus, you can get about 160 kcal. You should not lose sight of additional products that enhance the taste: sausages, meat, vegetables, ham, cheese and much more. They play a significant role in the final calorie content. You can't do without milk either. You can always replace it with water, but this will only make the omelette worse. Although, many people really like such experiments. In this case, you should use a low-fat dairy product and replace the additional components with lighter ones. In this case, you can get a lower calorie result by adding vegetables and similar mixtures.

The oil used to grease the molds gives the omelette additional calorie content. Even a small piece of 10 grams can provide him with an additional hundred kilocalories. In this case, it is worth changing the cooking method and giving preference to steam options. Although for the oven and steamer you need a minimum of oily product. Exclusively for mold lubrication.

Moreover, it does not contain carcinogens that are formed during frying in oil. Suitable for baby food.

Ingredients

eggs - 3 pcs
milk - 150 ml
salt to taste

Preparation

The whole point of this method is that an egg beaten with milk is placed in a bag.

This is where many people make the mistake of using regular food bags for cooking.

When heated, polyethylene begins to release harmful compounds directly into the prepared dish.

Important: For this recipe, use only special heat-resistant baking bags.

Otherwise, all the usefulness of the recipe will come to naught.

So, having packed our egg product in a baking bag, tie it well and place it in a pan of boiling water.

The package will float there, gradually its contents will cook and we will get a very soft, dietary product.

The same method is used when preparing an omelet in a jar.

All ingredients are placed in jars. We do not pour completely, i.e. the contents will rise as they harden.

The jars are sent to a water bath. To prevent them from bursting, you can put a textile napkin on the bottom.

Glass is a completely safe material for cooking. And such an omelette will be very useful!

There are several options for preparing an omelette with milk in a frying pan or steamed. To find your own recipe, it is better to try at least several methods. But first, let’s look at the composition of the dish, and also learn about the benefits and harms of omelet.

Nutritional value and benefits of omelet

Omelette is also useful for gastritis and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It is the steamed omelet that is included in diets for diseases of the digestive system, both for high and low acidity. The dish is a gentle, soft and not heavy food.

Harm or contraindications

Not so much the dish itself, but its main component - eggs - can harm any healthy body if you are careless about their choice. They are the main carriers of salmonellosis. Therefore, you should not drink raw eggs if you are not sure of their quality.

In addition, consuming large amounts of protein can lead to kidney failure, as well as an increase in cholesterol levels, which causes atherosclerosis. The daily norm for an adult is no more than 3 eggs.

And an equally important point - a steamed omelette is healthier than one cooked in a frying pan. High levels of carcinogens that are released when vegetable oil is heated promote the formation of cancer cells.

Delicious and simple classic recipe in a frying pan

To fry a regular omelette in a frying pan according to any recipe, you should choose only fresh chicken eggs. Before cooking, remove them from the refrigerator to allow them to come to room temperature. It is more convenient to fry the omelette in a frying pan with a thick bottom, for example, cast iron. But since not everyone has one, you can take a frying pan with a non-stick coating. An important rule is that the frying utensils must be dry.

Many people are concerned about the calorie content and benefits of a dish cooked in a frying pan. How to prepare an omelet without oil? Unfortunately, without the use of oil, it is cooked only by steaming. For those who are on a diet, you can lightly grease the dishes with olive oil. And one teaspoon of sunflower oil will not do any harm. But butter will give a special soft taste and aroma.

eggs - 2 pieces;
milk - 50 ml;
salt, spices - to taste;
vegetable oil - 1 teaspoon;
greens - several sprigs of dill and (or) parsley.

Heat the frying pan well. Grease with vegetable oil.

Serve the finished dish with chopped herbs.

Turn over easily and correctly

How to make an omelet from eggs and milk in a frying pan? And how to fry it on the other side? Very simple.

Use a pot or frying pan lid. When the dish is cooked on one side, take a wide flat lid with a comfortable handle, cover the pan and turn the egg mixture onto the lid.
Place the frying pan on the heat and remove the inverted omelette from the lid. It is better to take a lid made of ceramics or glass ceramics - the mass will slide off easily and will not be damaged.
