Good question, this is a technique used to help you get fluffier and tender Omelettes. The added Water helps to prevent and minimize the chances of overcooking it. The added Water also helps to create steam when your cooking it, which also helps to get your Eggs cooked more evenly. That’s not all, it will give them a nice “lift” making them easier to move ‘n’ flip.

Q: What else can I put inside my omelette?

The humble Egg is so versatile, it goes well with many things. fresh Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Scallions, Butter, Onions, Mushrooms, fresh herbs, Cheeses like Gruyere and even Avocado! Feel free to get creative with your Omelettes.

Q: What can I add to my omelette to make it taste better?

Be sure they are seasoned well. A pinch of Sea Salt is a great way to enhance the flavour in this savoury dish. Black Pepper pairs extremely well with any Omelette as does Onion granules. Garlic powder can also be used to increase and add more savoury depth into your Eggs while adding it’s own garlicky flavour into it. Smoked Paprika powder, Chilli flakes combined with fresh herbs like Rosemary, Oregano, Cilantro, and Parsley pair excellently with Eggs too elevating your Omelette game to another level! Using Unsalted Butter is such an effortless way to instantly lift the flavour profile of any Omelette.

Q: How do restaurants make omelettes so fluffy?

Adding a small amount of Water, say 15-25ml works well to keep them more airy in texture instead of being more denser. Be sure to use the freshest Eggs possible. This is so easily overlooked when making the fluffiest Omelettes! The fresher, the better. Giving the Eggs a good whisk is also easily overlooked. This can help make your Omelettes more fluffy.

SERVINGS

Ingredients

1/3 Red Onion Finely Chopped
Handful Of White Button Mushrooms Chopped
2 Large Eggs
20g Shredded Medium Cheddar Cheese
Small Bowl Of Baby Spinach
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of Sea Salt

Instructions

In a glass bowl, crack open the 2 Large Eggs. Remember, the fresher the better! Add in about 10ml of water into it. This is a great way to ensure you get a more fluffy looking Omelette. Beat the eggs properly until its properly mixed together. Season with some Sea Salt and let it rest for 10 minutes.
We want about 1/4 cup worth of chopped up veggies per 2 Large Eggs. This will make a good ratio for this recipe. Get yourself a non-stick skillet or pan. Drizzle in some Extra Virgin Olive Oil and start to sauté the Mushrooms on medium heat with a small pinch of Salt. This will help draw out any extra water from the Mushrooms to give us better flavour.
After a few short minutes, add in the Red Onions and Baby Spinach to the pan and let these cook for 2-3 minutes. Once the veggies are cooked, take them out and keep them aside while we make the Omelette.
Once the Eggs have been resting for around 10 to 12 minutes, it’s time to turn them into delicious Omelettes! Clean up your Skillet/pan with a tissue to remove any excess oil residue. Drizzle in some Olive Oil or even a small amount of Unsalted Butter if you prefer. On a medium low heat pour in the beaten Eggs. Be sure to spread any uncooked liquid Egg around evenly to make sure it gets cooked out properly.
Once you start to get some golden and slightly crispy edges, on one half of the Eggs, put the veggies that we cooked earlier into the pan and top it with the shredded Cheddar Cheese. Let this cook until the Cheese has melted, fold the other half of the Omelette over and you’ll be ready to enjoy a yummy high protein meal that’s quick and easy to make. Don’t forget to share this with your friends and family! Enjoy.
