Eggs are a versatile ingredient that can be transformed into countless delicious dishes, but this unique recipe will truly surprise you. It’s an innovative way to use both egg yolks and egg whites to create a layered omelet that’s bursting with flavor and gooey cheese. Follow these steps to make an omelet that will wow everyone at your table.
Ingredients:
- 4 egg yolks
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of unsalted butter
- 100 grams of mozzarella cheese (cut into slices and then halved)
- Parsley to taste (chopped)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Egg Yolks:
- Beat the Yolks: Start by adding four egg yolks to a large bowl. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and beat the yolks until they are well combined and smooth.
2. Cook the Egg Yolk Omelet:
- Heat the Skillet: In a skillet over low heat, add 1/2 teaspoon of unsalted butter and let it melt, ensuring the entire bottom of the skillet is coated.
- Cook the Omelet: Pour the beaten egg yolks into the skillet, spreading them out to form a thin omelet. Let it cook slowly until the eggs are set but still slightly soft.
3. Add the Cheese:
- Prepare the Cheese: Cut 100 grams of mozzarella into slices, then cut the slices in half to form strips.
- Layer the Cheese: Place the mozzarella strips on one edge of the egg yolk omelet.
- Fold the Omelet: Using a spoon or spatula, carefully fold the omelet over the cheese strips, enclosing the cheese inside the omelet. Move the folded omelet to one edge of the skillet to keep it warm.
4. Prepare the Egg Whites:
- Beat the Whites: In a large bowl, add the four egg whites. Chop parsley to taste and add it to the egg whites. Beat the mixture until it is fully combined and slightly frothy.
5. Cook the Egg White Omelet:
- First Layer: Pour half of the egg white mixture into the skillet. Let it cook until set but still soft.
- Add the Yolk Omelet: Place the folded egg yolk omelet on top of the cooked egg white layer.
- Second Layer: Pour the remaining egg white mixture over the top, ensuring it covers the yolk omelet completely. Let it cook until the egg whites are fully set.
6. Final Fold and Serve:
- Fold Again: Carefully fold the entire omelet in half, making sure all the layers are enclosed.
- Plate the Omelet: Transfer the folded omelet to a plate.
Tips and Variations:
- Cheese Options: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar, gouda, or even a sharp provolone can add a different flavor profile.
- Herbs and Spices: Enhance the flavor by adding herbs like chives, dill, or basil. A pinch of black pepper or chili flakes can also add a nice kick.
- Serving Suggestions: This omelet pairs wonderfully with a side of fresh salad, some crusty bread, or even a light tomato salsa.
