Ingredients

  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • dash of salt
  • dash of pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Beat eggs whites until stiff. Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Add milk or cream, salt and pepper to egg yolks; blend thoroughly. Fold egg yolk mixture into the beaten whites. Heat butter in medium oven-proof skillet until very hot. Pour in egg mixture and turn temperature to low. Cook slowly until browned underneath, 8 to 10 minutes. Place in oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until light brown on top and no imprint remains when touched lightly with finger. To fold, make a 1/2-inch deep crease across omelet, halfway between handle and other side. Slip a turner under the omelet; tip the skillet to loosen it and fold in half. Roll onto heated platter.
