This fluffy steamed omelet is breakfast at its simplest and softest: just eggs, milk, and salt, steamed into a tall, cloud-like omelet with no whisking and no fuss. It comes out light, tender, and gently savory in about 15 minutes. If you love egg breakfasts, try our Fancy Folded Omelet and Spinach Omelet next.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 200 ml (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) milk
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- No whisking needed: just stir the eggs, add the milk and salt, stir once more, and pour into a skillet.
- Set the skillet over vigorously boiling water (or pour in a little boiling water around the mixture), cover, and steam for 15 minutes.
- Slide onto a plate, run a spatula around the edge, and flip.
Tips
- Stir gently rather than whisking hard, so the omelet stays soft and puffy instead of dense.
- Keep the water at a vigorous boil and the lid on, so the steam stays strong for the full 15 minutes.
