Fluffy Sausage and Cheese Omelet

This fluffy omelet was a Saturday morning specialty at our house when I was growing up. The secret to the fluff is folding egg whites into the yolk mixture.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Nature's Yoke eggs, separated
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • dash of black pepper
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 4 tbsp softened butter, divided
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheese, divided
  • 3/4 cup fully cooked pork sausage crumbles, divided
  • fresh parsely, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Separate eggs carefully. Add salt to the egg whites and beat on highest mixer speed until whites form soft peaks.
  • In separate bowl, add pepper, flour, water and 1 T. butter to egg yolks and beat until they are thick and lemon colored, about 3 minutes. Gently fold the yolk mixture into whites.
  • Melt 3 T. butter in large skillet over medium-low heat. Pour omelet into skillet, tipping the skillet to evenly spread out the egg mixture. Cover skillet tightly. Gently simmer 4 minutes or until bottom is golden brown and the top of the omelet is dry.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 c. each of cheese and sausage on half of the omelet. Fold omelet in half and serve immediately, topped with remaining 1/4 c. of cheese and sausage. Garnish with fresh parsley.
