Fluffy Harvest Omelet Recipes

LIGHT AND FLUFFY OMELETS

Steps:

• Place the eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper in the blender and mix until very frothy, about 1 minute. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and, when hot, add the butter to the pan, swirling to coat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Using the rubber spatula, stir continuously and scrape down sides so as to evenly cook the mixture. Once the mixture resembles wet scrambled eggs, after about 30 seconds, use the rubber spatula to smooth the eggs so that they are an even depth throughout. Cook until almost set, about 10 seconds longer, and use the rubber spatula to fold the omelet in 1/2. Carefully slide the omelet out of the pan onto the plate.
• Serve immediately.

FLUFFY JAPANESE OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the beaten eggs are frothy, about 2 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter begins to foam, add the beaten eggs and immediately begin stirring with long chopsticks. Move the skillet on and off the heat in 5-second intervals to control the setting of the eggs. If your omelet is setting too quickly, reduce the heat to low. Push the edges of the omelet toward the center of the skillet as they begin to set, about 2 minutes. Large curds will form in the middle of the skillet. At this point, stop stirring with the chopsticks and swirl the skillet until the liquid is nearly completely set, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat. Use the chopsticks to gently loosen the edges of the omelet. Fold the omelet into a half-moon shape using both chopsticks. Return the skillet to low heat, tilting it at a 45-degree angle to allow any loose egg mixture to run to the edges and soft set, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Quickly roll the omelet away from you in the skillet until a log forms. Tilt the skillet and push the omelet out of it, landing it seam-side down over your cooked dish of choice. Make a lengthwise slice in the top of the omelet to reveal the soft-set curds.

OMELET

Steps:

• Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water, and salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork until egg whites are incorporated into yolks. Mix in herbs, if using.
• Place a 8- to 9-inch skillet (preferably nonstick or seasoned carbon steel) over high heat. Melt butter until bubbling subsides.
• Pour in egg mixture and reduce heat to medium. With the back of a fork or a heatproof rubber spatula, whisk eggs around skillet until the bottom begins to set. This takes only a few seconds. Add any fillings, if using.
• Tilt skillet and either bang or flip egg over itself. Use fork or spatula if necessary to complete folding in half or thirds. Angle the skillet and a serving plate together, and flip omelet onto plate.

FLUFFY BAKED OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly grease a well seasoned iron skillet, and place it in the oven while the oven is preheating, and you are preparing the omelet.
• Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry.
• Beat the egg yolks well, slowly add the flour and stir until smoothly blended.
• Add the milk and mix well.
• Lightly fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the omelet into it.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until the omelet is set in the center and lightly browned.
• When the omelet is done, remove from the oven and loosen the sides with a spatula.
• Place a platter close to the skillet, and with a spatula loosen the bottom of the omelet and slide it out onto the platter.
• Pour the melted butter over the omelet, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• **Note:If desired, you can place the asparagus spears in a wheel pattern on top of the omelet before placing it in the oven and/or sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
