This Foolproof Fluffy Soufflé Omelette recipe delivers a light, airy, and cheesy breakfast classic that’s easy to make and impressively fluffy. Using whipped egg whites folded gently with yolks and cheddar cheese, this omelette is tender and packed with flavor, perfect for a satisfying morning meal or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ tsp salt

Cheese

  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided (28 g)

Butter

  • 2 Tbsp butter (28 g)

Instructions

  1. Separate: Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing them in separate bowls. Be careful to avoid any yolk contamination in the egg whites, as this will prevent them from whipping correctly.
  2. Beat Whites: Using a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. This will give the omelette its fluffy texture.
  3. Beat Yolks: In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks together with the salt until the mixture becomes pale and creamy, which should take about 30 seconds.
  4. Fold: Gently fold the beaten yolks into the stiff egg whites using a rubber spatula to retain as much air as possible. Then add half of the shredded cheddar cheese and fold again until evenly combined.
  5. Cook: Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and spread it evenly into a circle. Cover the pan and cook until the bottom turns golden and the top is just barely set, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top and let it melt.
  6. Fold: Carefully fold the omelette in half. To prevent breaking, slide the omelette halfway off the pan onto a plate and then fold the remaining half over itself.
  7. Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best volume and flavor.
  • Make sure no egg yolk gets into the egg whites to ensure proper whipping.
  • Cook over medium-low heat to avoid browning the omelette too quickly.
  • Folding gently helps keep the omelette fluffy and light.
  • Serve immediately as the soufflé omelette deflates quickly once off the heat.
