I first fell in love with this style of omelette during a beautiful trip to Venice. The secret is whipping the egg whites until they are light and airy, which creates a soufflé texture that is much more special than your average breakfast eggs.

Since this dish is so delicate, I recommend using a good nonstick pan. If you want a little extra flavor, you can fold in some fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese right before you finish cooking it.

🧺 Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives for garnish

👩‍🍳Instructions

  1. 1

    Separate the eggs carefully, making sure no yolk gets into the whites.

  2. 2

    In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form soft, billowy peaks.

  3. 3

    Heat the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium low heat.

  4. 4

    Gently pour the whipped whites into the skillet and spread them out evenly with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Cook for about 3 minutes or until the bottom is set and lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Carefully fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a plate.

  7. 7

    Top with black pepper and fresh chives before serving.

💡 Tips

Serve this immediately while it is still warm and puffy. If you have leftovers, they do not reheat very well, so it is best to make this fresh each time.
