Best Puffed Cheese Omelet Recipes

CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl with a whisk. Add milk and season with salt and white pepper. Whisk for a few minutes until egg mixture is foamy; beating in air makes the omelette fluffy.
• Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and twirl skillet so bottom is evenly covered with egg. Cook for 1 minute until egg starts to set. Lift edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet so uncooked egg mixture can run towards the bottom of the skillet to set. Repeat until no visible liquid egg remains.
• Carefully flip omelette and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle Emmentaler cheese in one line in the middle of the omelette and fold omelette in half. Cook for 20 seconds, then slide omelette onto plate.

PUFFY OMELET

Steps:

• Separate the egg yolks and whites into 2 separate medium bowls. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the egg whites and, using a hand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Season the yolks with salt and pepper and beat until smooth, thickened and slightly pale in color. Fold one-third of the egg whites into the egg yolks and thoroughly mix until there are no streaks. Add half of the Gruyere and the soda water. Pour in the remaining egg whites and gently fold to combine.
• Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until it foams, then pour in the egg mixture, smoothing the top. Cover the skillet and cook until the omelet is golden brown on the bottom and you can lift the edges to peak underneath, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheese and the herbs on top, cover the skillet and cook 2 more minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Fold over and serve.

OMELET FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the bacon crosswise in 1-inch slices. Cook the bacon in an 8-inch ovenproof saute pan over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Drain the bacon on paper towels and discard the fat from the pan. Add the butter to the pan, and then add the potato and yellow onion. Cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion starts to brown and the potato is tender but firm. Add the jalapeno pepper and cook for 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together with a fork. Stir in the scallions and diced Cheddar. When the potato is cooked, add the bacon to the pan and pour over the egg mixture. Place the pan in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the omelet puffs and the eggs are almost cooked in the center. Sprinkle with a handful of grated Cheddar and bake for another minute. Serve hot directly from the pan.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the 3 large eggs with salt, optional milk or water, and whisk or blend with a fork.

• Pour the beaten eggs into the center of your heated skillet and lift the handle to tilt the pan and spread the egg mixture out toward the skillet edge. Once the eggs begin to firm up, use a spatula to lift the edges, and tilt the remaining uncooked egg toward the edges. *Also, break any bubbles that are forming and fill them with the uncooked egg as well.
• Let the omelet cook for about 10-15 seconds after filling any gaps and rounding out the edges. Then fill with half of the grated cheddar cheese. Use a spatula to flip the first edge inward over the filling, then the opposite edge to close the omelet.
• Slide the cooked omelet onto a plate and finish topping with the remaining half of the cheese. Add any other condiments desired, serve, and enjoy!
