Puffy Omelet
 
 
Grandpa Charlie Gillespie always made these... one of our favorites!
 
  eggs (divided)  
  milk or cream  
  salt and pepper  
  butter  
 
1 1.) Beat egg whites until stiff. Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in 1 tsp milk or cream per egg. Salt and pepper to taste (I use one salt and 2 peppers per egg.) Fold into the beaten whites.
2 2.) Pour into sizzling butter (1/2 tbsp. per egg) in heavy skillet.
3 3.) Turn heat to low. Cook slowly until light brown underneath (about 10 minutes.) Bubbles will still appear through uncooked puffy top and mixture will look moist.)
4 4.) Place skillet in moderate oven (350°) Bake until light brown on top and until, when touched lightly with finger, no imprint remains (about 10-15 minutes.)
5 5.) Sprinkle toppings on top before you fold omelet such as cheese. Make 1/2" deep crease across omelet half way between handle and opposite side. Slip spatula under one side tip skillet to loosen omelet, and fold in half without breaking.
6 6.) Roll Omelet top-side-down onto hot platter.
7 7.) Garnish with what ever you like or and serve at once.
 
 Cooking Tips
Right before I put omelet into oven I sprinkle any toppings onto it that I may plan to use. They will cook for only 10 min so if they need longer... saute them prior.
