Ultimate Diner-style Omelette

I have a favorite breakfast place here in Chicago: The Breakfast Club. It's an adorable little family-owned breakfast gem and they make the most delicious, fluffy, French omelette. As always, the French know a thing or two about delicious cuisine. I can't drive out to the Breakfast Club every morning, as much as I would love to be able to, so I set out to replicate their impeccable omelette. I eat mine plain, no cheese and no meat, but you can add whatever you'd like!

The Ultimate Omelette

What you'll need:

3 eggs, separated

1 tablespoon whipping cream, unwhipped
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon butter and extra butter for the pan

Salt

Make the magic:

1. Separate the egg whites and beat them until they form fluffy peaks

2. Add baking powder and salt and beat just a little more

3. Beat the egg yolks separately with the whipping cream and butter

4. Add the egg yolks to the egg whites and combined only until incorporated

5. In a large pan (it's impossible to make a good omelette with a small pan), about 12 inches, add a little butter and let it melt.

6. Pour in the full mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently and into the middle. 

7. Form your omelette to one side. This is when you can add cheese, ham, Canadian bacon, etc. The omelette will still be slightly runny.

8. Don't fold it! Take your omelette off the pan and slide it into a plate. Fold the omelette over as you put it on the plate. Your omelette will be slightly undercooked, but eggs continue to cook even after you take them off the heat. A French omelette is light yellow in color, unlike an American omelette, which is cooked longer.

Enjoy! :)
