For people leading an active lifestyle, a full breakfast is a must. Such a dish can be called an omelet. There are several ways to cook an omelette with milk in a pan.

How to cook an omelette with milk in a pan

First of all, before you start preparing breakfast, you need to purchase fresh eggs and take them out of the refrigerator half an hour before cooking. They need to be at room temperature. You will need a cast iron pan with thick walls. If there is none, then the usual one is suitable, only the coating should be non-stick. And one more rule - the pan must be dry.

And now let's start cooking the dish and prepare everything you need:

  • milk - 50 ml;
  • eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • vegetable oil - 1 tsp;
  • salt - to taste;
  • herbs and spices - optional.

How to cook:

  • Break the eggs into a deep bowl, beat with a mixer.
  • Pour milk into eggs, salt and mix. You can use a mixer.
  • Put a dry frying pan on the stove, heat it up and grease it with oil.
  • Pour in the omelet mixture.
  • You need to cook the dish on medium heat for several minutes (2 or 3).
  • Reduce heat and cook for a few more minutes (maximum 4 minutes) until the omelette is fully set.
  • Before serving, crush the omelette with chopped herbs.

Lush omelette with milk in a pan

Each of us remembers the omelet that was given in kindergarten. It was fluffy, tender and very tasty. I would like to cook exactly the same, but not in the oven, but in a frying pan.

Products for the dish:

  • milk - 1.5 cups;
  • eggs - 4 pcs.;
  • vegetable oil - 1 tsp;
  • salt, spices - optional.

Cooking a fluffy omelette in a pan:

  • Mix eggs with milk with a fork, add spices and salt.
  • Grease the frying pan with oil, pour the egg mass from the heated frying pan, cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat for several minutes. You need the mixture to set.
  • After the omelette grabs around the edges, you need to reduce the heat of the stove and simmer under a closed lid for 15-20 minutes.

To prepare this dish, you must follow these rules:

  • For 1 egg you need to take 100 ml of milk. This is important as eggs can vary in size;
  • eggs do not need to be beaten, just mix with a fork;
  • flour in this recipe is not needed, then the omelet will be soft;
  • Do not open the lid during cooking, otherwise the omelet will fall off.


About the secrets of cooking an omelette in a pan

Each housewife has her own secrets for making an omelet with milk in a pan:

  • Sometimes there is a need to flip the omelette to the other side. This is easier to do with a pan lid. On the one hand, the omelette is cooked, you need to take a lid (flat) and cover the pan with it, and then turn everything over together, the omelet will remain on the lid.
  • With a ceramic or glass-ceramic lid, the omelet will slide off faster and you just need to return it to the pan.
  • At the end of cooking, you need to add a little grated hard cheese (on a fine grater). The mixture will be denser and will not fall apart.


Omelet in a pan- a dish known all over the world. Few people know that they started cooking it in ancient Rome, but they only served it as a dessert with honey and fruits. Since then, the omelette has become more and more popular, and numerous cookbooks in all countries are updated with new recipes for this unique dish. I was not mistaken in calling the omelet unique, because probably no other dish has such a number of cooking options.

Cooking method:

  1. Break the eggs into a deep bowl, add salt and pepper. Chicken eggs should be used of the highest grade, choose those that have a matte shell of an even color.

This simple dish is familiar to everyone since childhood. After all, it is in kindergarten that children are often served a magnificent juicy omelet.

But as soon as the hostess begins to cook an omelette at home, failure awaits her. The omelette, which a few minutes ago was so high in the pan, hit the plate, suddenly fell off, turning into a thick pancake.

Homeland omelet - France. It is there that no breakfast is complete without this dish. But the classic omelet is prepared without milk - on eggs alone. True, with all sorts of additives: cheese, tomatoes, ham.

Adding milk or other dairy products - sour cream, kefir, cream - this is already the freedom of the housewives. And milk is good for scrambled eggs. It turns out fluffy and porous.

Subtleties of cooking

  • Only fresh eggs are used for omelets. Before use, they must be washed in warm water to prevent the ingestion of such a dangerous infection as salmonellosis.
  • Eggs are mixed with milk and lightly beaten with a whisk or fork. Do not use a mixer for this purpose. Excessive foam adversely affects the quality of the omelette.
  • To make the omelette more fluffy, the yolks are separated from the proteins, mixed with milk and lightly beaten. Then the whites whipped into a stable foam are mixed in.
  • The quality of the omelet depends on the amount of milk. Those housewives who pour milk by eye are mistaken. The fact is that excess milk raises the omelet well in the pan, but immediately after turning off the stove, it falls off a lot. Therefore, milk is poured strictly according to the norm: 15 ml of milk is taken per egg.
  • The choice of pan also affects the quality of the omelette. In a thin-bottomed pan, the omelette burns quickly, while remaining raw inside. Cast iron pans or modern non-stick pans are ideal for making omelettes. In any case, the bottom should be thick.
  • An omelette is fried in butter, ghee, vegetable oil, lard or lard. It is better not to use margarine and spread, as they can give the dish an unpleasant aftertaste.
  • Omelet is prepared not only from eggs and milk, but also with the addition of other ingredients. Sausages, tomatoes, zucchini, onions and other vegetables that need heat treatment are first fried in a pan and then poured with an egg-milk mixture. If they are mixed immediately with the omelet mass, then this will significantly worsen the quality of the omelet. Greens are immediately mixed with eggs or sprinkled with a ready-made dish.
  • The egg mixture is poured into a well-heated frying pan, greased with oil. Then the fire is reduced to a minimum, the dishes are covered with a transparent lid.
  • When the edges of the omelette mass just grab and turn white, with a fork or spatula they are gently moved to the middle. Punctures are also made in the omelette so that the liquid flows down.
  • Then the pan is closed again with a lid and the process is no longer interfered with. As soon as the whole omelette rises and thickens, it is ready.
  • Flour is sometimes added to the egg-milk mixture. The omelet becomes denser and holds its shape better. In this case, the amount of milk is increased.
  • Very often, the finished omelette falls off due to the temperature difference between the pan and the plate. Therefore, the omelette plate is preheated.
  • For a tall omelet, take a narrow frying pan.
  • A stuffed omelette is cooked in a wide frying pan without a lid, as a thick omelette is difficult to bend in half. In this case, each portion is fried separately.

If one morning you are wondering how to cook an omelette in a pan, then you have come to my address. In this article, I will tell you how to cook delicious omelettes with different fillings, as well as how to make an omelet fluffy and airy like in kindergarten in our childhood. For many, the recipe for a magnificent omelet is still a mystery, but there is nothing complicated in it and you will see for yourself.

An omelet is a great nutritious breakfast for the whole family, both adults and children love to eat it. But who said that you can not cook a delicious ruddy omelet with sausage and cheese for dinner? Or an omelet with tomatoes for lunch? There are no restrictions and the limits of your imagination too. Although it is worth making a few caveats, do not put anything in the omelet. Start by studying the classic recipes, because someone has already tried everything before you and chose the best. Let's use the experience of other culinary specialists to acquire our own.

The omelet has come down to us as a dish of French cuisine, at least its name, but many peoples have their own ways of preparing an omelet and, of course, its name. The most important thing in an omelette is the eggs and the correctness of their preparation. Remember what James Bond said about his cocktail: "Shake, don't mix." With an omelet, everything is exactly the opposite, the eggs for it should be mixed, but not beaten. And even a fluffy airy omelet is prepared without serious whipping with a mixer.

You can cook omelettes in many ways: fry them in a pan, bake in the oven, cook in a slow cooker. But all the recipes in one article cannot be covered, so this time I will describe those recipes that we can cook in a regular frying pan. After all, almost everyone has a frying pan and a stove, which means there will be an omelet!

So let's move from theory to practice to see this.

Classic omelette with milk in a pan - a simple recipe

To get started, let me tell you how to prepare the simplest omelet with milk. It is without fillings and additions, and all its charm lies only in a delicate egg taste. Many people love just such an omelette most of all, it is an ideal dietary breakfast rich in proteins and energy. An omelet with milk can also be prepared for children, even small enough, for them the main thing is to make it without a crust so that it remains tender and soft.

In order to cook the right omelette, you will need a bowl or deep plate, a medium diameter frying pan with high walls and a lid, preferably with a thick bottom. A wide spatula will also come in handy to remove a tender omelet from the pan without tearing.

Of the products you will need the simplest:

  • eggs - 2-3 pieces per serving,
  • milk - 50 ml for 2 eggs,
  • salt and pepper to taste,
  • frying oil.

Cooking:

Omelet with milk cooks very quickly and therefore it is best to put the pan in advance, especially if you have an electric stove, which will take a little longer to heat up. Immediately heat up not to the maximum fire, but slightly above average. Pour some vegetable oil into the pan. Non-stick pans allow you to fry without oil, but only do this if you are 100% sure nothing will stick. Omelet with milk is very tender.

Break eggs into a deep plate for one serving of omelet. Usually it is 2 or 3 eggs for adults.

Stir the eggs with a fork to mix the white and yolk. Pour in the milk and add a pinch of salt to your taste.

Now stir again with the same fork, whisking quite a bit. We do not do this with a mixer precisely because the egg should not turn into foam, but only slightly fill with bubbles.

Stir the egg like this for literally one minute and immediately pour it into the hot pan.

The omelette will immediately begin to fry from the bottom side. As soon as you see that the edges have begun to thicken, then reduce the heat of the burner and finish cooking the omelet on low heat. This is necessary so that it is completely baked, but at the same time not overcooked from below. You can cover the omelet with a lid and cook under it until all signs of liquid eggs disappear.

The omelette is usually baked from the edges to the middle, as soon as the middle has ceased to be liquid, the omelette is ready and can be removed.

It is very difficult to remove a thin omelet with an even “pancake”, so you can remove it by folding it in half with a spatula or twisting it into a tube. If your omelette is thick, from a large number of eggs, then you need to remove it with a wide flat spatula.

Ready omelette can be sprinkled with herbs and pepper. Have a delicious breakfast!

Omelet with cheese in a pan without milk

Another very tasty and popular omelet option is with cheese. In order to deviate a little from the previous recipe, we will make it without milk. It won't change the taste much. If you want milk to still add that, take the proportion from the first recipe.

Why cheese? The main secret of omelettes with cheese is that the cheese is melted and preferably inside the omelet or at least on top. You can cook it either openly, simply by sprinkling cheese on top of the eggs, or closed, when cheese is poured on one half of the omelette, and the second is covered in the form of an envelope. Then the cheese inside melts and it starts to stretch deliciously.

For such an omelette, your favorite cheese is suitable, but it is good if it melts well. Soft varieties like mozzarella can also be used, but they have a mild flavor and will get a little lost with the egg. I usually take the usual yellowish hard cheese, such as gouda or sour cream, tilsiter or Russian. Choose according to your taste.

To prepare such an omelette with cheese, we need 2 eggs per serving, and 50 grams of grated hard cheese. Salt, fresh herbs and a little oil for the pan.

Cooking:

Heat a frying pan over medium heat, pour just a little oil into it so that the omelet easily lags behind when ready.

In a cup or plate, stir two eggs until smooth and a little frothy. Mix better with a fork or whisk, literally one minute. Salt the mixture to taste. you can add pepper.

Then pour the mixture into the skillet in an even layer and fry over medium-low heat.

As soon as the middle is no longer liquid, sprinkle the omelette with grated cheese on a coarse grater. You can fold the omelet in half to make an envelope and the cheese inside melts.

Cover and let stand for another 2-3 minutes, then remove the hot omelet, put on a plate and serve. The hot melted cheese will stretch every time you cut off a slice of the omelet.

Enjoy your meal!
