Fluffy Cheese Omelette
Report
Looking for an omelet recipe that is easy, quick, and tastes great? I've got you covered! This egg omelet with grated cheese is a hit in our house, my family loves it for breakfast. Its secret lies in the addition of breadcrumbs and cold water, which makes it wonderfully fluffy.

Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tablespoons water cold
- 2 Tablespoons breadcrumbs plain
- ½ cup grated cheese such as cheddar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pork lard for frying, or vegetable oil such as sunflower or canola
Instructions
- Crack 2 eggs into a shallow bowl. Pour in 3 Tablespoons water, add 2 Tablespoons breadcrumbs and ¼ teaspoon salt. By hand, using a fork, beat well until completely combined. Be patient; there should be no lumps of breadcrumbs in the mixture.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan 20 cm in diameter and melt 2 teaspoons pork lard in it over medium heat. If you have whole cheese, grate it finely.
- Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan in a thin layer. Using a circular motion of the pan, spread the mixture evenly over the entire surface. Sprinkle ½ cup grated cheese over the surface. Allow it to fry over low heat until the omelette has set and the cheese on the surface has melted. This takes about 3–4 minutes.
- Carefully lift the omelette with a flat spatula and fold it in half when placed on a plate.
Notes
- SERVING:
- The basic recipe makes 2 omelettes, enough for one bold person.
- SERVING: Serve the egg omelette immediately while the cheese is still warm; it tastes best that way. You can sprinkle the omelette with freshly ground chili flakes or pepper. Garnish the plate with colorful vegetables and green salad leaves. I always add a slice of buttered bread.
- Don't turn the omelette! The egg mixture is poured into the pan in a thin layer to cook through without turning.
- What exactly makes an omelette fluffy? The secret ingredients are breadcrumbs and cold water! For a soft and fluffy dish, whisk them well with the eggs.
