INGREDIENTS:
Maximum four pasteurized eggs.
One or two tablespoons of frying oil.
Three tablespoons of salted butter, or a small teaspoon of salt if the butter is unsalted.
Cheese (if desired): A small amount of your preferred cheese, such as gruyere or cheddar.
Finely cut a green onion, if using, and sprinkle it on top.
INSTRUCTIONS:
First, whisk the eggs.
Using an electric mixer:
Blend the eggs: Place all four cracked eggs in a bowl.
Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs until soft peaks form. This implies that the eggs will remain soft and fluffy but retain their shape.
Manually:
Gently separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a separate bowl and the yolks in a larger one.
Beat the egg whites: Beat the egg whites with a hand whisk until firm peaks form. When you lift the whisk, the egg whites with firm peaks will stand upright.
Using a fork, whisk the egg yolks until they are smooth.
Step 2: Get the Soufflé Concoction Ready
Using a spatula, carefully fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolks to combine them with the egg yolks. As a result, the yolks become lighter and simpler to combine with the other components.
Gently and rapidly fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Gently folding the eggs is essential to maintaining their lightness and fluff. Don’t mix or stir too vigorously.
Advice: To better preserve the fluff, some chefs advise combining the egg yolks with the egg whites rather than the other way around. Try out both strategies to see which works best for you.

Step 3: Prepare the Soufflé Concoction
To preheat the pan, place one or two teaspoons of oil in a nonstick pan over low heat. Allow the oil to progressively warm up.
When the oil is hot, add the soufflé mixture to the pan. To maintain the heat, immediately cover the pan with a lid and cook for about three minutes.
Step 4: Add butter and any other desired ingredients.
Check for bubbles: Remove the soufflé’s lid as soon as bubbles start to form on top of it.
Raise the soufflé: Gently remove the soufflé from the pan using a large spatula.
To allow the salted butter to melt and coat the omelet’s bottom, place it beneath the soufflé. This enhances the flavor and prevents it from sticking.
If you would like additional flavor, you can add cheese flakes and chopped green onions.
Step5: Serve immediately.
When the butter has melted and the omelet is cooked but still soft, remove it from the pan. Carefully place it on a plate.
To offer the omelet in a traditional manner, fold it in half before serving. Savor your airy and fluffy omelet right away!
Tips for Creating the Best Egg Yolk
Use fresh eggs; the soufflé will taste better the fresher the eggs. Eggs that are fresher keep their shape longer and whip up more easily.
To ensure that the omelet cooks evenly without burning or shrinking, cook it slowly over low heat.
To maintain the frothy texture of the mixture, use caution while combining the egg whites and yolks.
Serve the soufflé omelets soon away because they deflate rapidly and taste best when fresh.
