Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of white pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Optional: fillings such as chopped scallions, grated cheese, or ham
Instructions:
- Prepare the egg whites: In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix, or the egg whites will become too dry.
- Whisk the egg yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with water, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
- Combine egg whites and yolks: Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolks using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Melt butter: Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the omelet: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is set.
- Add fillings: If using fillings, add them to the top of the omelet.
- Fold and serve: Gently fold the omelet in half and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use room temperature eggs for best results.
- Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the egg mixture.
- Don’t overcook the omelet, or it will become tough.
- Serve the omelet immediately to enjoy its fluffy texture.
