  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to make an airy omelette with milk in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. To find out useful information about chicken eggs, I advise you to read an article on this topic. There is a link to it at the end of this recipe.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Wash the eggs first with a food grade cleaner, as there may be harmful bacteria on the surface. Carefully separate the whites from the yolks. Not a drop of yolk should get into the whites, otherwise they will not beat. Place the whites in the refrigerator.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Pour milk into the yolks, add the pepper mixture and beat lightly with a fork. You can use any spices to suit your taste.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    Beat the chilled whites with a mixer with a pinch of salt until you obtain an airy, dense foam.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    Grease a dry frying pan with olive oil using a brush and heat it up. Pour the yolks on top and, tilting the frying pan, distribute them evenly over the entire surface. Fry the yolks over medium heat. You can find out how to choose the right frying pan by reading the article, the link to it is at the end of this recipe.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    As soon as the yolks set on the bottom, place the whipped whites on top and carefully smooth them out so that they do not extend beyond the egg pancake.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for 5-8 minutes. During this time, the protein should become denser. If you press it with your finger, it will spring back and will not stick to your hand.

I made “Poulard” for breakfast. Sometimes you want to cook something for yourself) I reduced the portion by half. At the same time, the question arose of what to fry it in. I don’t have such a small frying pan with high sides. I decided to fry the omelette in a non-stick pan. Unusual, of course, but everything turned out great) Nothing even stuck to the bottom or walls. I added paprika, black pepper and dried basil to the yolk mixture. The whites were whipped wonderfully, I placed them on top of the set yolks and covered with a lid. The mass reached the middle of the bucket. But literally a minute later the protein rose and began to prop up the lid (I watched this process through the transparent lid). After about four minutes it became clear that the omelette was ready. When I removed the lid, the protein fell a little, but at the same time it was airy and dense at the same time. As expected, I cut the omelette and folded it with the whites inside. An amazing result) The omelet did not separate, did not fall, held its shape perfectly, and did not lag behind the yolk. She cut it with a knife and dipped it in ketchup. It’s so interesting when the bubbles burst in your mouth) It’s as if it’s not an omelette, but an airy soufflé. At the same time very tasty! I'm glad I found this recipe. Maria, thank you for the new experience!

At first I thought that some new type of egg had appeared - “poulard”, but it turns out that this is the name of an omelet :) This is the first time I’ve heard about such a “method” of cooking, the main thing is that such an omelet is fried on one side, there is no need to turn it over! My way to make it The omelet is fluffy and very tasty - add concentrated milk (which is sold in a tin) to the eggs. In this case, you can close the pan with a lid, the omelet will rise before your eyes :)

I can't say I'm delighted with this French omelette. But sometimes you can eat it (for variety). The only thing that is mandatory for me is to sprinkle it with grated cheese before serving. It turns out much tastier this way.
