Ingredients

Scale

4 œufs
1/4 cuillère à café de sel
1 cuillère à soupe de beurre

Instructions

Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs, separating the yolks into one bowl and the whites into another. Add the salt to the yolks and whisk until slightly frothy. Ensure the bowl for the whites is clean and dry.
Beat the Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites at medium speed. Gradually increase the speed until stiff peaks form. The whites are ready when you can invert the bowl without them falling out.
Incorporate Whites: Take a spoonful of the whipped egg whites and gently fold it into the yolk mixture using a spatula. Carefully fold the remaining whites into the yolks to maintain the airy texture.
Cook the Omelette: In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once the butter is foamy but not browned, pour in the omelette mixture. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until the edges solidify, and the center is still slightly jiggly.
Serve: Carefully slide the omelette onto a warm plate or fold it in half in the skillet. Serve immediately to enjoy its fluffy texture, and pair it with a green salad or crispy bread.

Keywords: To enhance flavor, consider adding grated cheese, fresh herbs, or sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture before cooking. For a richer taste, try using olive oil instead of butter, though it may alter the flavor slightly. Avoid over-mixing to keep the soufflé texture intact.
