The word omelet in the cuisines of the world refers to a dish made from eggs and milk, or from eggs only. It is essentially the same, but differs both in preparation and in the composition of ingredients, and only eggs are present in all versions.
It is believed that this is a dish of French cuisine. There this dish is prepared from mixed but not beaten eggs. As a rule, it is fried in butter on one side until it thickens, then rolled into a tube or in half and served. Before rolling, you can season it with some filling.
In our country, it is prepared from eggs mixed, often beaten with milk. It is baked both in the oven and in a frying pan with the lid closed, over very low heat, to become more fluffy. Cooked in this way, it becomes more tender and juicy, and, as already mentioned, more fluffy.
It is also prepared in other countries - Japan, China, Italy, and the Balkan countries. When you travel a lot, or visit different countries due to your line of work, almost everywhere they serve an omelet for breakfast. Moreover, in many hotels they can fry it for everyone to order, with whatever they want. It can be ordered with ham, sausage, herbs, and tomatoes. And often you even have to stand in line, since there are plenty of people who like to enjoy this tasty and tender dish!

French omelette
The preparation of this dish in France is very meticulous. There is even an opinion that a real French chef must be able to cook a real omelet before all other dishes.
Probably only in France should there be a special frying pan for its preparation, in which nothing else is cooked.
A special feature of the preparation is that the products do not contain milk. The French version should not be fluffy, so the eggs are not beaten and it is not covered with a lid when cooking. Fry it on one side only. And when it becomes almost ready, it is rolled up into a tube.
If it is prepared with filling, then it is added immediately before it is time to wrap the finished omelette in a tube. All preliminary procedures with filling, such as frying, stewing, etc., are carried out separately.
We will need:
- eggs - 3 pcs
- butter - 40 g
- salt - 1/4 teaspoon
- ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon
Preparation:
1. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork, making sure that no foam forms.
2. To prepare the dish, it is best to have a frying pan with a thick bottom so that the heat is distributed evenly. Warm it over the fire and add oil. Wait for the butter to melt and immediately pour in the egg mixture.
3. After two minutes, sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. During frying, the pan should be shaken slightly to prevent the base from over-cooking. Fry over medium heat until the edges turn golden brown. The middle will remain slightly viscous.
4. When ready, fold the two edges towards the center. Allow to stand for 15-20 seconds, then fold in half.
5. Transfer the omelette to a plate and serve with fresh vegetables and herbs.
As mentioned above, the French also prepare it with various fillings. Moreover, each province has its own signature filling. So in the Alps they use their famous cheeses as a filling, in Normandy apples, in Provence chestnuts, in Poitou - of course, truffles. But in Savoy I add cracklings, to my great surprise.
But when adding the filling, remember that the filling should not be mixed with the eggs. It is added only at the very end, before it is time to roll the omelette into a tube. In this case, the filling saturates it well with its aromas, and it turns out incredibly tasty.

Features and secrets of cooking omelet
Having looked at various recipes for preparing an omelet today, let's take a closer look at the basic rules for its preparation.
- Eggs for cooking must be of high quality and fresh. Since it bakes very quickly and the cooking time is very short, this is a basic rule.
If you shake an egg, the yolk in a stale egg will dangle. Also, if you put such an egg in water, it will float up. It is better not to use such eggs for cooking.
- Eggs should not be beaten with a mixer. This makes them too airy, and the omelette will turn out brittle and not so tasty.
- Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk, but no foam should form.
- In some recipes, the eggs are separated into whites and yolks, and everything is beaten separately. As a rule, the yolks are simply mixed, and the whites are whipped into a strong foam.
- It is better to remove the eggs from the refrigerator in advance and shake them when they are at room temperature.
- In Europe, as a rule, milk is not added at all.
- We add milk. And when milk is present in the ingredients, they often use recipes where the ratio of milk and eggs is one to one. To avoid mistakes, milk is measured using egg shells.
- A tastier omelette will be made from milk with a higher amount of fat; milk with a fat content of 3.2% is considered ideal.
- The milk that we add to the eggs should be either slightly warm or at room temperature.
- As a rule, no flour is added. But sometimes there are exceptions, especially when they want to get a dish with a denser consistency. We did not add flour anywhere in today's recipes.
- Also, no baking soda or baking powder is added. Someone adds, believing that this way the omelette will rise better. It will rise anyway if you follow the proportions and cook according to the recipe, where it should turn out fluffy.
- In European countries, olive oil is most often used for cooking.
- In our country, we mainly use butter or ghee to grease a frying pan or mold. It makes the dish tastier and more aromatic.
- A frying pan for frying an omelette should have thick walls; this way it will cook more evenly and it will not burn. As a last resort, you can fry it in a non-stick frying pan.
- If you want it to be fluffy, do not open the lid or oven door during the entire cooking process. Otherwise it will fall off.
- Sometimes the omelette needs to be turned over. How to do it? Prepare a glass lid the size of the frying pan. When it's browned on one side, cover the pan and turn it over. After that, put the frying pan back on the fire, if necessary, grease the bottom with oil, and carefully drag it.
- The filling in it can be anything. And this can be perfectly observed in today’s recipes. The only thing that is not in today's recipes is meat products. Although they can also be actively used. So, for example, in the famous Bavarian omelette recipe, which is not in our article, there are Bavarian sausages.
- Therefore, ham, bacon, sausage, frankfurters, sausages, chicken and meat can be added to almost all recipes.
- The dish can also be sweet. And today we looked at two such recipes.
- In fact, there can be many more recipes. The most important thing is not to be afraid to use your imagination, and then you can come up with the fillings yourself!
- Omelette can be cooked in a frying pan, in the oven, in the microwave, in a double boiler and in a slow cooker. There are also recipes where the egg mixture is placed in a baking bag and then boiled in a pan of hot water until tender. Boiled and baked options are considered healthier and more dietary.

What types of scrambled eggs are there?
It is one of the most famous and popular in European cuisine. It is prepared very simply: from broken eggs in a very hot frying pan. No special skills or abilities are required for this. There are different types of scrambled eggs. Their names sound like “fried eggs” and “scrambled eggs”. The difference between these two dishes is the way they are prepared.
Fried eggs involve maintaining the integrity of the yolk during the cooking process. The name of the dish has Russian roots and comes from the word “glaz”, which means “round” or “ball”. The yolks in scrambled eggs began to be called this word much earlier than the eyes on the face (until the 16th century the word “eye” was used).
Scrambled eggs are more reminiscent of the method of preparation. But since, unlike an omelet, no dairy products are added to it, in cooking it is considered that it is still scrambled eggs. The types of preparation of these two dishes differ significantly: if in fried eggs they try to preserve the yolk as much as possible, then in scrambled eggs the whole egg is shaken well or mixed directly in a frying pan during the frying process.
Methods of preparing scrambled eggs vary significantly in different countries. For example, in Italy the egg is beaten directly into a bun and baked in the oven, in the UK a fried egg is always served with bacon, in Israel they prepare fried eggs with thick vegetable sauce and national spices, in Spain they are served directly on flatbread, etc.
Classic fried egg
Anyone can cook scrambled eggs, even those completely far from cooking. Nourishing, simple, quick and very tasty - this is how this dish can be described, briefly and clearly. To keep the egg yolks intact, just carefully pour the egg into a frying pan with oil and fry them on one or both sides.
Depending on the cooking method, the following types of fried eggs are distinguished:
- classic fried eggs;
- with bacon;
- scrambled eggs in the shape of a heart, flower, sun, etc.;
- egg fried in bread;
- scrambled eggs baked in tomatoes, buns or potatoes;
- egg in pepper.
And this is not counting the national dishes that are prepared in different kitchens around the world. In fact, there are a lot of ways to cook scrambled eggs. It all depends on the imagination and financial capabilities of the person himself.
Classic fried eggs are prepared in the following way:
- Place the pan on the stove and heat it well for 40 seconds.
- Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Using a brush, distribute the oil evenly throughout the pan.
- While the oil is heating, break the egg into a bowl, being careful not to damage the yolk.
- Next, the egg from the bowl is slowly poured into the frying pan. Salt and pepper are added.
- Fried eggs over medium heat until cooked. This will happen as soon as the white turns milky white, but the yolk in the fried egg should remain liquid.
- The scrambled eggs are transferred to a plate, sprinkled with green onions and parsley.
In the UK, this dish is served with bacon, which is fried in a separate pan and placed on a plate with a fried egg. And for the Valentine's Day, heart-shaped fried eggs are being prepared. You can also cook scrambled eggs in the shape of a flower, which will be an original start to the celebration of International Women's Day.
Scrambled eggs
The exact opposite of fried eggs is scrambled eggs, in which the eggs are first beaten with a fork with salt, and then fried in a frying pan with butter.
Depending on the characteristics of the cooking process, there are different types of scrambled eggs. The cooking recipes are as follows:
- English scrambled eggs. To prepare the dish, beat 2 eggs with a fork with a pinch of salt and pour into a frying pan with heated butter (20 g). During the frying process, they are constantly stirred with a spatula so that lightly fried lumps are formed. It is recommended to serve the finished scrambled eggs directly on toast.
- French scrambled eggs. To prepare this dish, beat 4 eggs with a whisk with salt, and then heat them directly in a bowl in a water bath until cooked. The cooking time for such scrambled eggs is at least 10 minutes, and it also needs to be stirred with a spatula to form lumps.

By following cooking techniques and knowing a few secrets from famous chefs, you can create a real masterpiece from simple products. This wonderful dish of eggs and milk can be an excellent traditional breakfast for the whole family - tasty, aromatic, very nutritious.
The simplest recipe for making an omelette is the classic one. This is where you can start getting acquainted with this wonderful culinary masterpiece.
To prepare food you should stock up on:
- chicken eggs - 4-5 pieces;
- milk – 150 ml;
- oils - butter and vegetable;
- black pepper and salt.
Beat the eggs into the container. It is more convenient to use a mixer, you can use a fork or a whisk, but the process will take longer. Add salt to the egg mixture, pour in the milk and beat everything for a few more minutes.
The longer the beating process takes place, the fluffier the dish will be.
In the meantime, grease the frying pan with butter or ghee and add a little sunflower oil so that there is no smoke when heating the container. When the oil heats up, you need to pour the beaten egg-milk mixture into the bowl and cook over low heat, covering with a lid. During the cooking process, the container with the mixture should be shaken periodically - the splendor of the dish will depend on this.
Garnish the finished product with green sprigs of dill and serve, dividing into portions. You can add a salad of fresh vegetables. Such a light, nutritious breakfast will saturate the body until the next full meal.
Dietary protein dish
You can prepare an omelet with milk for those who are watching their figure and are afraid of gaining extra pounds. Replacing natural milk with less fatty milk and completely eliminating high-calorie yolks will help make the dish dietary. Otherwise, the same products are used as for preparing an omelet according to the classic recipe.
Ingredients for diet omelet:
- whites – 4 pieces;
- skim milk - a glass;
- vegetable oil;
- spices.
First you need to carefully separate the egg into its main components, using a special device or yourself. Then add the milk product to the whites and beat everything thoroughly until fluffy. Add seasoning, continuing to beat for another 1-2 minutes. Afterwards, finely chopped parsley and dill are added to the protein-milk mixture (you can use any greens according to your preference) and everything is carefully mixed.
Grease a deep frying pan with oil, heat it up and pour in the food preparation. Afterwards, the container is closed with a lid (preferably transparent). The dish is prepared in 12 minutes. After this time, the diet puffed omelette in a frying pan is served to the table. The calorie content of the food will ultimately be 110 kcal.
Lush omelette in a frying pan
In order to prepare the most fluffy omelette, you should follow certain rules.
Components used:
- quail eggs – 8 pieces;
- sifted flour - 2 tablespoons (when adding this component, it is important to remember that the dish will turn out to be a little higher in calories);
- a glass of milk;
- You need to take enough sunflower oil to cover the bottom of the container;
- salt pepper.
To obtain a lush milk-protein dish, you need to beat the whites and yolks separately. In this case, it is better to put the whites in the refrigerator for 8 minutes, then beat. The yellow part of the egg is cooked separately, first adding salt and spices, then milk.
Add the whipped white part to the milk-yolk mixture, mix everything carefully and pour into a container with preheated vegetable oil. You can replace sunflower oil with a product of animal origin, for example, ghee - so the taste of the finished dish will be more delicate and rich.
Cook the dish for 7-8 minutes over low heat. Then cover the container with a lid and hold for another 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and invite household members to the table, garnishing with vegetables and herbs.
Cooking in French with cheese
Omelette is considered a traditional French dish. At home, they learned to cook it in different variations, adding various products. A traditional French dish is an omelette with cheese - it is often served for breakfast at home and is offered to try in famous restaurants.
The food is prepared from:
- 4 eggs;
- cheese – 60-70 grams;
- butter – 35 grams;
- milk – 10 ml;
- pepper, salt to taste.
Separately or together in a container, beat the yolks and whites, pour in the milk. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the butter heated in a frying pan, filling the container evenly. The dish is cooked over low heat for 5 minutes under the lid.
When the dish is almost ready, you need to thoroughly cover one part of it with grated hard cheese. After cooking the omelette in a frying pan, cut into 2 equal parts and the one on which there is no cheese must be covered with the second one. After steeping for one minute, you can divide the food into portions and serve.
You should purchase in advance:
- eggs – 6 pieces;
- natural fat milk – 0.2 liters;
- flour – 40 grams;
- ham – 110 grams;
- hard cheese – 120 grams;
- fresh tomatoes – 2 pieces;
- onion – 1 piece;
- dill and seasoning.
In a heated bowl, fry the chopped onion, add chopped tomatoes and ham into strips. Lightly brown everything, reduce heat and leave to simmer with the lid closed. Meanwhile, in a bowl of suitable volume, you need to beat the remaining ingredients step by step, starting with eggs, milk, etc. Distribute the mixture into the pan and cook over low heat until half cooked. Then add the grated cheese, cover with a lid and cook the dish until the dairy product melts for another couple of minutes. It is recommended to cut the prepared dish into portions and garnish with vegetables, herbs or olives if desired.
Let's start with a basic question. What country do you think can be called the birthplace of the omelet? We know that it may seem strange, because everyone knows that this is France. If not for one “but”: eggs were cooked this way long before the French. For example, in ancient Rome they liked to mix eggs with milk and honey. When the honey was completely dissolved, the mixture was thoroughly peppered and fried until tender. Well, if you look so closely at all the known dishes, then variations in their preparation can be found among the rock paintings. But a more modern version of the omelet actually comes from France.
Cooking a real omelet in France is strict. This is the first dish that a self-respecting chef should learn to cook. You can beat eggs only with a fork, and fry only in a frying pan with a thick bottom and only in butter. And no additives. This is what the original omelet looks like. But you and I are not French. We are allowed to beat with a mixer, add our favorite spices and toppings, and fry in the frying pan we have in the house. If you're ready to break tradition to make more than just scrambled eggs, but a delicious omelette, here are some amazing recipes!
