Kimmi Food’s Soft Omelet
Introducing How to Make Kimmi Food’s Soft Omelet
Hello, this is Kimmi from Kimmi Food. Today, I’ll introduce how to make an omelet, an egg dish that’s easy to make at home. Omelets are great for brunch or as a side dish, so both children and adults can enjoy them deliciously. Let’s make this wonderfully fluffy and flavorful omelet together!
Omelet Ingredients- 5 fresh eggs
- 10ml milk (for added softness)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- A little ham, diced or thinly sliced (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- A dash of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for your omelet. You’ll need 5 fresh eggs, 10ml of milk, 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of parsley flakes, and optionally, a small amount of ham, either diced or thinly sliced. If you don’t have ham, feel free to omit it, or you could use finely chopped bacon for extra flavor.
Step 2
Crack the 5 eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Pour in the milk (or cream, for an even richer omelet) and sprinkle in the parsley flakes. Whisk everything together thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the egg whites and yolks are fully combined and the mixture is smooth. Adding salt at this stage helps the eggs break down more easily.
Step 3
Now, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Butter can burn quickly, so once it’s melted, remove the pan from the heat briefly. Swirl the pan to coat the entire surface evenly with the melted butter. This prevents the omelet from sticking and ensures a beautiful finish.
Step 4
Enjoy the wonderful aroma of the butter as it melts. Butter truly elevates any dish, adding richness and enhancing the natural flavors of the ingredients. The foundation of a delicious omelet starts with good butter!
Step 5
Once the pan is coated with butter, return it to high heat. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the hot pan all at once. Immediately, use chopsticks or a spatula to quickly stir the eggs in a circular motion, like scrambling them. This vigorous stirring creates small curds and a wonderfully tender texture in the finished omelet.
Step 6
As soon as the egg mixture begins to set slightly and form soft curds, reduce the heat to low. Tilt the pan gently, allowing any uncooked egg to flow towards the edges. Use your chopsticks or spatula to gently push the cooked egg towards the center of the pan.
Step 7
At this stage, avoid cooking the omelet until it’s completely firm, like you would for a rolled omelet (tamagoyaki). The key is to gather the eggs while they still look moist and slightly undercooked. This will result in a wonderfully soft and creamy omelet.
Step 8
When the surface of the omelet still appears glossy and has some liquid egg, gently gather the mixture towards one side of the pan to form a semi-circle. If the eggs are fully cooked before you attempt to shape them, they tend to tear or break, making it difficult to achieve that classic, elegant omelet shape.
Step 9
Once the eggs are gathered neatly on one side of the pan, create a semi-circular shape. Then, carefully fold the omelet in half by gently sliding it onto itself, or use your spatula to carefully fold it over. This technique will help you create a beautiful, almost French-style rolled omelet.
Step 10
And there you have it! A stunning omelet, worthy of any fine restaurant, made right in your own kitchen. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle some tomato sauce or ketchup over the warm omelet. You can also place a slice of cheese on top while it’s hot, letting it melt into a gooey, savory layer. If you’ve prepared some sautéed ham, add it on top for an even more satisfying meal. Enjoy your delicious homemade omelet!
