Summer Soufflé Omelette Food

FLUFFY SOUFFLE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Separate: Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing them in separate bowls. Be sure to not get any drops of egg yolk in the egg whites or they won't whip correctly!
• Beat Whites: In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites until you get stiff peaks.
• Beat Yolks: In a small bowl, whisk or beat together the yolk and salt until it is pale and creamy looking, about 30 seconds.
• Fold: With a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg yolks into the egg whites. Add half of the cheese and fold to combine.
• Cook: Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium/low heat. Add the egg mixture, using your spatula to spread it out into an even circle. Cover and cook until the bottom is golden and the top is just barely set, about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle on remaining cheese, allowing it to melt.
• Fold: Fold omelette in half (to do this without breaking the omelette, I like to slide the omelette halfway off the pan and onto a plate, then fold the remaining half over itself).
• Serve: Season with salt and pepper, as needed. Serve immediately.

FRUIT SOUFFLE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar with the cinnamon. Place the fruit in a small bowl and add the cinnamon-sugar. Toss to combine.
• Heat the 3 tablespoons of butter in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the fruit and saute for about 5 minutes or until the fruit begins to caramelize. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until very light and fluffy. Fold in the vanilla and lemon zest. When well blended, fold in the beaten egg whites.
• Pour the melted butter into a 7-inch, ovenproof omelette pan over medium heat. Place the fruit (if sliced, fan it out) into the pan and pour in the batter to cover the fruit. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the omelette is puffed and golden.
• Remove from the oven and carefully invert onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve. NOTE: If desired, you can garnish the plate with fresh fruit and mint.

SOUFFLE OMELET (PUFFY OMELET)

Steps:

• Beat egg whites until frothy.
• Add water and salt; continue beating about a minute or until stiff peaks form.
• Beat yolks at high speed of electric mixer until thick and lemon colored (about 5 minutes).
• Fold yolks into whites.
• Heat butter in a 10 inch skillet with an oven proof handle.
• Pour in egg mixture, mounding it a little higher on the sides.
• Cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until eggs are puffed and set and the bottom is golden brown.
• Place skillet in a 325 degree (163 celcius) oven; bake for 10 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Make a shallow cut off center of the omelet.
• Place your fillers on the larger half of the omelet.
• Fold the smaller half over the fillers.
• Slip omelet onto a warmed plate.

THREE CHEESE SOUFFLé OMELETTE

Steps:

• Place a 7-or-8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Set the oven rack to the center position and heat the broiler to high.
• Place the yolks into a medium bowl and the whites into a large metal or glass bowl. Add the salt to the whites and, using a metal whisk or hand mixer, whip up until foamy and they hold medium peaks. Set aside. Lightly whisk the egg yolks until slightly foamy. Using a metal spoon or large whisk, gently fold the yolks into the whites just until combined.
• Melt the butter in the pan and gently pour in the eggs. Allow the omelette to cook for 1 minute. Gently sprinkle with all the cheese and transfer to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
• Gently fold the omelette in half and transfer to a plate. Scatter with the herbs, season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

CHEESE & HAM SOUFFLéD OMELETTE

Steps:

• Mix most of the cheese with the ham or gammon, egg yolks, mustard, herbs and some seasoning. Whisk egg whites until stiff. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture until evenly mixed.
• Heat a splash of olive oil in a small non-stick frying pan. Pour mixture into the pan and cook for 4 mins until the underside is set and browned. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and grill for 2 mins until cheese is bubbling and golden.

LEMON SOUFFLE OMELETTE

Steps:

• First of all, add the lemon rind and juice to the egg yolks, together with the sugar, and whisk until the mixture is slightly thick and creamy.
• Now start to melt the butter in the frying pan and turn the heat on the grill to its highest setting.
• Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then using a metal spoon lightly and quickly fold them into the yolks.
• Now pour the lot on to the foaming butter, then fold and stir a bit to prevent anything sticking to the bottom. After about 10 seconds, place the pan under the grill, so that the top can brown nicely.
• Serve immediately straight from the pan.
• If you like to make it slightly more spectacular you can warm a small ladle and pour brandy into it. Set light to the brandy, then carry your omelette to the table, pouring the lighted brandy over just before you get there.
