On mastering a fluffy and moist omelet in just five minutes

An omelet is the ideal breakfast for busy mornings. It is quick, simple to prepare, and incredibly tasty, and it can be ready in five minutes. Here are a few tricks to ensure your omelet is always fluffy and moist. Here is a tried-and-tested recipe, along with some tips to achieve perfection.

Frying an omelet seems simple, but the key lies in the details. To achieve a fluffy and moist omelet, follow a few important rules.

Important tips:

1. Don’t overheat the pan: Heat the pan over medium heat. The high temperature will cause the omelet to set quickly, losing its fluffiness and moisture.
2. Mixing the ingredients: Instead of mixing them in a bowl, put them in a closed jar and shake for a few minutes. This will make the omelet more aerated and light.
3. Fry with a cover: Frying the omelet under a lid over very low heat retains moisture and makes the omelet soft and delicate.

Ingredients:

            
• 3 eggs,
• 2 tablespoons of milk,
• 2 tablespoons of flour,
• a pinch of baking powder,
• a pinch of salt,
• a pinch of sugar,
• olive oil for frying.

Additions:

      
• Chives or onion,
• 2 slices of ham,
• 2 slices of smoked bacon,
• 3 slices of yellow cheese.

Preparation:

1. Chop the chives, ham, and bacon, and grate the cheese on a fine grater.
2. Crack the eggs in a jar, pour in the milk, and add the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Close the jar and shake vigorously for a few minutes.
3. Heat a bit of oil in the pan over medium heat. Then, immediately pour the jar's contents into the pan. Cover with a lid and fry for 2 minutes.
4. After 2 minutes, add the chopped additions to the omelet. Cover again and fry over the lowest heat for 5 minutes.
5. Serve the ready omelet warm with your favourite additions, such as chopped tomatoes, fresh herbs, or cream sauce.
