How to make a fluffy omelette

Experienced chefs agree: the secret to a light, airy omelet lies in giving it room to rise. Instead of a wide, shallow pan, opt for one with higher sides and a smaller diameter — it helps the omelet puff up beautifully without spreading too thin.

Another key detail is how you beat the eggs. Skip the overzealous whisking — too much foam makes the mixture rise too quickly, only to collapse just as fast. Gentle, controlled beating is the way to go for a perfectly fluffy finish.

To make your omelet extra fluffy, a touch of milk and flour goes a long way. But balance is key — too much, and the mixture becomes heavy. A good rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon of milk and ½ tablespoon of flour per egg.

The final secret to omelet perfection is temperature. If the pan is too hot, the proteins seize up, making the texture rubbery. Too cool, and the eggs won’t cook evenly. The sweet spot? Low to medium heat, with a lid on. This gentle approach ensures your omelet turns out light, tender, and full of flavor.
