Hello friends!

How to cook a steam omelette - a classic recipe

Ingredients:

8 chicken eggs;
2 tbsp. milk;
salt.

The second method is a little easier. Take a pan, pour water into it, its level should reach the middle of the dish in which the omelette will be made. Pour the prepared eggs into a cooking container, place in a saucepan, and cook in the same way for 20-25 minutes.

With vegetables

To prepare a delicious fluffy omelette with vegetables, you will need the following ingredients: 4 eggs, half a liter of milk, half a carrot, half an onion, bell pepper, cheese - 50 g, fresh herbs, green peas - 100 g, butter and salt.

The eggs are broken into a deep plate, beaten, salted, and milk is added. It is best to grate the carrots; it is advisable to use a coarse grater for this. The onion needs to be chopped, but very finely. Sweet peppers should be peeled and seeds removed, and then chopped into small cubes.
The steamer bowl is lubricated; it is best to use butter for this. Shredded carrots are laid out in layers at the bottom of the container, then onions and peppers, and then frozen peas are laid out on layers of vegetables, all this is filled with a mixture of eggs and milk.
Next, grate the cheese and sprinkle on top; in addition, the omelette can be sprinkled with chopped herbs.
This dish will take about 20 minutes to prepare in a double boiler. As soon as the vegetable omelette is ready, it can be placed on plates and then served on the dinner table, first sprinkled with sour cream.
You can use not only fresh vegetables to prepare a vegetable omelet. Ready-made frozen mixtures of zucchini, cauliflower and broccoli are also ideal for cooking. It is not necessary to defrost the finished package of vegetables before starting cooking. If you need to make your meal more satisfying, you need to add diced ham to the vegetables.
You can make the omelette denser by adding half a teaspoon of flour to the beaten mixture of eggs and milk.

Useful tips and tricks

In order to make a steam omelette with your own hands correctly and tasty, it is recommended to remember a few simple but useful culinary tips regarding preparing the delicacy at home:

To prepare a dish using classical technology, you will need to mix a fresh egg with table salt, milk until smooth and steam it or cook it in a slow cooker.
To improve the taste of the omelet, you can use mayonnaise, sour cream, broth or orange juice instead of milk.
Sausage delicacies, boiled meat, chopped cheese, herbs or fresh vegetables will give the product additional flavor notes.
When serving, the dish can be seasoned with a piece of butter, chopped herbs and shredded cheese.
If you are lactose intolerant, you can replace dairy products with boiled water or broth.
It is necessary to use only fresh eggs, since a product whose shelf life exceeds 5 days cannot be beaten to the desired consistency, which, in turn, will affect the texture of the dish.
To prevent the omelette from being watery, add no more than 20 ml of milk or liquid cream per 1 egg.
It is not recommended to beat the mixture with a mixer, as it will turn out too stiff.
Omelette ingredients should be at room temperature. Cold ingredients will prevent the omelette from rising during cooking.
In order not to lose the splendor, it is not recommended to lift the lid, because temperature changes are detrimental to it. After making the treat, it is also undesirable to remove the lid. The finished dish must be kept in a closed container for 5 minutes.
If using a large number of eggs, they must be beaten first. In this case, each egg must initially be beaten into a separate container, and then combined together. This is required in order to identify a low-quality product.
If the delicacy includes sausage delicacies, then the molds need to be filled only half with this mass. The mass will increase in size during cooking.
When cooking, it is also recommended to lubricate the lid of the frying pan with butter in order to avoid the egg mass sticking to its surface.
A cold omelet perfectly complements dishes such as soups or salads.
If you include a pinch of turmeric in the omelette, it will increase your appetite and also allow you to better taste the taste of the finished dish.
Immediately after beating, the egg mixture must be placed in a heat treatment device. If the composition stands on the table for some time, it will rise worse. In addition, you should not include too many auxiliary components in the dish. It is necessary to use only 50% of the total mass of additional food products. This also affects the pomp of the product. The fewer ingredients included in the delicacy, the fluffier it will be.
The finished delicacy can be consumed both hot and cold. However, omelettes have a rather short shelf life. In this case, the dish must be stored in the refrigerator compartment.

Steam omelette is a universal product that can be prepared at any time of the day. The recipe always turns out nutritious and quite satisfying if you include auxiliary ingredients in the form of vegetables, cheese, mushrooms or sausages.

For a strict diet, prepare a protein omelet. A dish of whipped egg whites will provide a more gentle meal during the active phase of a weight loss diet and during acute pancreatitis.

Advice from experienced chefs

Beat the eggs one at a time into a separate glass, and then pour into a mixing bowl. If you come across a damaged copy, the rest of the products will remain intact.
Cooking time depends on the appliance. The more powerful it is, the faster the omelette bakes.
If you cook in molds, do not fill to the top. During baking, the mass will increase in size.
You can add your favorite spices to any recipe.
If the eggs are more than 5 days old, they will not beat well, and the omelette will not turn out fluffy.
Products of the same temperature mix better, and the mass is obtained without lumps.
You cannot beat eggs with a mixer. The egg mixture will become too smooth and will not rise well. Therefore, mix the ingredients with a whisk or fork.
Pour the egg mixture into the cooking device immediately after beating. The longer it sits, the worse it will rise.
Do not remove the lid during baking. A sharp temperature change will “blow away” the omelette.
It’s delicious to use broccoli florets, canned peas, corn, and bell peppers as a filling.
Do not add more milk than specified in the recipe. The dish will turn out too airy and you won’t be able to get it out of the mold.

Steam omelette turns out tasty and nutritious. For small children and people watching their figure, it is prepared without additional components. For a more satisfying breakfast, add meat and sausages, cheese or vegetables. Do not use too much filling, otherwise the dish will not turn out fluffy.
