Kittencal's Fluffy Omelet

Recipe #161457 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

Of coarse you can double this and make it in a large skillet! You can use any favorite cheese you desire, cheddar is good also, I prefer Monterey Jack for omelets! The trick to a fluffy omelet is the baking powder, so do not omit and don't overcook the eggs!

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 3-4 large eggs
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder (this will create a fluffy omelet)
  • 2 tablespoons whipping cream (unwhipped)
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter (can use more or less!)
  • 1/4 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded (can use more)
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a small bowl whisk together eggs, baking powder, cream, green onions, salt and pepper until frothy.
  2. 2
    Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat until your hands feel warm when held about 2-inches above the surface; add in butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
  3. 3
    Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet; let set slightly.
  4. 4
    Using a heat-proof spatula, push eggs from edge towards the center; tilt pan to let egg fill the spaces.
  5. 5
    Repeat until omelet if JUST set (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. 6
    Sprinkle the grated cheese down the center of the omelet.
  7. 7
    Using the same spatula, gently fold the omelet over the cheese.
  8. 8
    Tilt skillet and slide the filled omelet onto a serving plate (don't worry if you tear the eggs slightly!).

This makes a perfect omelet. I subbed sharp cheddar and green and red bell peppers in place of the monterey jack cheese and green onion. However, I made sure to use the baking powder! It truly made a fluffy, delicious omelet.

    I have never made an omelet before, and this turned out wonderful. I used cheddar cheese and added avocados. It was delicious and fluffy! Thanks for a great easy recipe!
