What is the most famous omelette in the world? ›

The Omelette de la mère Poulard (Omelette of Mother Poulard) is an omelette developed by Anne Boutiaut Poulard, also known as Mother Poulard, in the 19th century in Mont-Saint-Michel, France. It is served at La Mère Poulard, her restaurant there, and at many other restaurants on the small island.

Whisking air into the eggs is one secret to a fluffy omelet. Also, if you cook the omelet in a pan that's too large for the number of eggs used, it will naturally be flatter. On the other hand, you don't want to overload a small pan. This only increases the time needed to cook the eggs and can lead to a rubbery omelet.

But at Norma's in Le Parker Meridien hotel, one particular omelet will set you back $2,000. Dubbed the "Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata," the breakfast in question includes 10 ounces of Sevurga caviar, an entire lobster, six fresh eggs, cream, chives and lobster sauce. It's served over a bed of Yukon gold potatoes.

If you want a lighter (not lighter in calories) and fluffier omelette, you can add a splash of water to the eggs which will create steam as it cooks. Or if you want a richer omelette, you can add a splash of milk or cream.

Do you add milk to an omelette? Many people add either milk or cream to their omelettes in order to bulk them out and have a more substantial dish without the need to add an extra egg. While this does work, it's crucial not to go overboard or you'll end up with a mixture that's too loose.

Beat the eggs: Use two or three eggs per omelette, depending on how hungry you are. Beat the eggs lightly with a fork. Melt the butter: Use an 8-inch nonstick skillet for a 2-egg omelette, a 9-inch skillet for 3 eggs.

Just fat in general. A restaurant omelet is going to have about an 1/2 to 1 ounce of liquid fat to start. I've worked at places that used butter, margarine, and oil, but, the amount is pretty consistent.

It's an old diner trick. The mixer whips air into the egg mix and when poured, immediately, into a hot pan, the eggs will soufflé, or become fluffy. You can easily replicate this at home with a blender. Just whip your eggs in a blender while your omelette pan is heating.

Scrambled eggs are cooked over lower heat and stirred slowly. This lower heat, slower process keeps the eggs fluffy and soft. Beat in a bit of water or milk (1 Tablespoon liquid per egg), pour the egg into a heated pan, let it SIT for a minute or two and then gently fold it over as it cooks.

Chicken eggs are the most popular type of egg consumed worldwide. They are versatile and can be cooked in various ways, making them a staple ingredient in many dishes.
