A soufflé omelette is a light and fluffy version of a traditional omelette that incorporates whisked egg whites for extra volume. This recipe combines the bold flavors of a spice mix, cheddar cheese, and scallions for a delicious and impressive breakfast or brunch dish.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into two large bowls, separating the whites from the yolks.
- Allow the egg whites to come to room temperature for better whipping results.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Add the spice mix to the bowl with the egg yolks and whisk until smooth and well combined. The spice mix could be a combination of your favorite spices or a pre-made mix, depending on your preference.
- Using a clean and dry whisk or electric mixer, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This should take about 3-5 minutes for electric mixers and slightly longer if done by hand.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites; use a spatula to gently fold in, rather than stirring vigorously.
- In a separate pan, sauté the scallions with a bit of butter until they are tender. This should only take a few minutes.
- Heat the butter in a large, oven-safe nonstick skillet or an omelette pan over medium heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the sautéed scallions and grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the omelette is puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Once done, carefully remove the skillet from the oven.
- Let the soufflé omelette cool slightly before sliding it onto a serving plate.
- Cut into wedges and serve hot.
Tips:
- Separate the egg whites and yolks carefully to ensure there is no yolk in the whites, as this will impact their ability to whip up properly.
- Use a clean, dry bowl for whipping the egg whites to achieve maximum volume.
- Fold the egg whites into the yolks gently to retain the airiness of the mixture.
- Cook the omelette over medium-low heat to prevent it from browning too quickly on the outside while remaining raw inside.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the soufflé omelette at its peak fluffiness.
This soufflé omelette is a delightful twist on the classic omelette, offering a light, airy texture paired with the rich flavors of spice mix, cheddar cheese, and scallions. With the right technique and a bit of patience, you'll create a show-stopping dish that's perfect for any meal. Enjoy!
