If you need to quickly feed the household, then an omelet is a win-win.
It can be cooked from some eggs, and then it will become a truly French dish. After all, the French do not add milk to the omelette. And in general, they make it flat, and then rolled up in the form of a pie or roll.
But many mistresses are not up to French delights. They want their scrambled eggs to be lush and high. Apparently, they are stirred by memories of how an omelet was served for breakfast (dinner) in a kindergarten, school canteen or summer camp — tall, porous, juicy.
But why then at home omelet turns out flat?
In order to somehow achieve the desired result, some housewives fry an omelet in a frying pan, others boil for a couple, and still others bake in the oven, believing that only in the oven will it be magnificent.
Cooking Secrets
Omelette in the oven can be cooked:
- from one eggs;
- with milk, cream, sour cream, mayonnaise, kefir;
- using different products: sausage, vegetables, mushrooms, greens;
- with berries and fruits, adding sugar to the omelette mass.
The choice of recipe depends on the preferences of the hostess and the availability of food in the refrigerator.
The main thing is to choose the right baking omelet.
Form for cooking omelet in the oven
Why is kindergarten an omelet so high? Because in one baking sheet they pour an omelet mass consisting of a large number of eggs. Therefore, during baking, it does not spread out in breadth, but, on the contrary, grows upwards.
At home you need to adhere to the same rules.
If you pour an omelette mass of 5-6 eggs on a baking sheet, then the omelette will turn out to be flat. You need to choose a form so that the egg-milk (vegetable) mixture fills it at 3/4 of the height. A small amount of free space remains to raise an omelet. The form can be from any material that can withstand the heat of the oven.
The omelet is obtained lush in portioned silicone tins. It does not stick to them, rises well and slips out of them easily, without losing its “marketable” appearance.
Ratio of eggs and milk for cooking an omelet in the oven
In almost all recipes, the amount of milk varies. And each housewife, adding milk to the eggs, believes that her recipe is the most correct.
To get a dense omelette that will not fall apart at the slightest touch, this ratio of eggs and milk is recommended: 15 ml of milk is added to 1 egg. This dosage was indicated in Soviet-era culinary books.
If you want to get a softer and lush omelet, 50 ml of milk is added to 1 egg. Most often, this amount of milk is indicated in modern recipes.
Is it necessary to beat the egg-milk mixture to make an omelet in the oven
Many housewives ask themselves: do you need to beat eggs and milk before pouring them into the mold?
Oddly enough, but to get a lush omelette, the egg mixture is not whipped, but only stirred until a homogeneous mass.
If there are many eggs, you can use a mixer, but beat at low speed only until the first bubbles appear.
The whipped omelet mass, when baking, rises perfectly, but after the mold is taken out of the oven, it quickly and irrevocably falls. Such an omelet can fall off even if there is a lot of milk.
Omelet with fillers in the oven
Omelet in the oven turns out very tasty if it is cooked with sausage, meat, vegetables, mushrooms, tomatoes, as well as cheese.
In order for the omelet in the oven to become high and lush, the additional ingredients should not be watery, otherwise they will make the omelet heavy. It is best to use sausage, potatoes, cauliflower, meat, zucchini. Omelette with tomatoes is very tasty, but before mixing with eggs, they need to be stewed in a pan in order to evaporate the excess liquid.
And cheese, on the contrary, will hold all products together and make an omelet more dense, it will not let it fall.
Flour also helps to keep the omelet in the oven form. If flour is added quite a bit, it will not greatly affect the taste of the omelet. Most often adhere to this dosage: put on 1 egg 0, 5-1 teaspoonful of flour. A large amount of flour makes it dense and not too juicy.
And now a few of the most common recipes by which you can cook a lush omelet in the oven.
