3-Ingredient Soufflé Omelette: How to Make it Fluffy
This is not your everyday omelette! A soufflé omelette is a super light and fluffy variation on the traditional omelette. This explains why they are also called cloud omelettes. Unlike a traditional omelette, where all the ingredients are mixed together in a bowl and cooked, the soufflé omelette has one or two extra steps. You get the fluffy texture by separating the egg yolks from the whites and whisking each separately. This incorporates air bubbles into the eggs, making them light and “airy”. The recipe is slightly more effort than traditional omelettes, but much easier than making a soufflé. If you’re having guests for breakfast, it will definitely impress them! It makes a great brunch dish too.
You can make this a sweet or savory omelette, depending on which fillings you add (see our recipe notes below).
Tips for The Best Soufflé Omelette
If you want to add more ingredients, whisk them into the egg yolks. Use sour cream, yogurt, fresh herbs, or even chili sauce.
If you want to make a filled omelette (with meats or vegetables), add these after the omelettes have cooked. If you add them before cooking, the egg mixture will be too heavy, and it will destroy the structure of the light omelette.
