Fluffy omelet

Ethelsimmons

I love fluffy omelets. The sight of it makes my mouth water no matter how full I am. I've tried many methods but they don't come as expected. Can anyone share some methods by which I can make them fluffy???

Do you ever add pancake batter? That usually helps

Welcome to the forum @Ethelsimmons‌. Not to state the obvious, but you do know this is a BBQ forum...right?

youtube a video for french omelet.  That should satisfy your urge.  Put some pulled pork in it.

no added liquid makes a thin omelet. added milk makes them more fluffy looking but a little heavier in texture, water makes them really fluffy but only add a little

I like cherry wood and some pecan for omelets. Raised, indirect, 220-221, whatever it takes.

reverse sear

Add milk and beat in a bowl. Then as it starts to cook use a flat spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan towards the center building a fluffy mound. Keep the eggs moving.

Not an omlet but, it's hard to beat.

I love an omelet so thin it looks like a crepe!
That's how I make them.
When I see a fluffy omelet I get full just looking at it.  Fluffy omelets usually have brown bottoms and that just kills the egg taste.  Omelets should be yellow!

I know, I know...why the hell did I reply to a fluffy omelet anyway?!   To each his own. I get it.  
Thin omelets I think just give a greater balance of the egg flavor and the ingredients you stuffed it with!
I just did it again.  Damn.

I took a class onetime at the culinary institute focusing on breakfast foods. The secrete to a fluffy inlet is to cook it slowly. It gives the egg time to "fluff".

@Legume I'd agree with you.....if I COULD!!

Use a good non stick pan, add some heavy cream to the omelet. As the bottom cooks, lift with a spatula and tilt the pan to put the uncooked egg under it. Walla. Fluffy omelet.

I follow Alton Browns method. But it is a thin French omelette. So much better in my opinion!

Deep fry it

You could always fluff with brisket and pork butt. I think the rendering fat would add the elevation.

I think Ethel's a fluffer.
