What is important to know

A pan-cooked omelet can have a ton of ingredients depending on the tastes and preferences of your family and guests. But the main products you need are:

• milk;
• eggs;
• salt;
• spice;
• frying oil.

The choice of milk and eggs should be treated with special attention. Food must be fresh. If you want to cook an omelet with curdled milk, make sure that it is not windy or covered with a thick film - it is better not to use such sour milk in food.

Omelet is a very simple and hearty dish that can be prepared both on weekdays and on holidays.

Remove eggs from refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before cooking to warm to room temperature. Be sure to wash them to keep them safe from Salmonella (this is especially true for homemade eggs).

Frying oil can be either butter or vegetable oil. If you care about your figure and the calorie content of the omelet is important to you, use sunflower or olive oil. You can even use lard, but the omelet in this case will be a little "heavy" for the stomach.

It is best to choose a cast iron skillet with a thick bottom as the utensil for frying. Non-stick pans work well. The main condition is that the dishes must be clean and dry.

The biggest problem that housewives face when preparing an omelet is the difficulty of turning it over. There is a simple way to fry on both sides:

1. After the omelet is well done on one side, take a flat wide lid, cover the pan with it. Turn the dishes over so that the egg mass remains on the lid.
2. Return the pan to the fire. Transfer the omelet with the wet side down from the lid. Better to use a ceramic or glass cover.
3. Add some grated cheese to the milk and egg mass. Thanks to it, the mixture will become more dense and will not fall apart when turned over.
