Omelet in the oven like in a garden

09.09.2021 For kids

Entering a store, sometimes your eyes run up from the abundance and variety of products on offer. There are many delicacies and delicacies on the shelves that are now readily available to the average consumer.

But sometimes it’s not a new dish that’s madly wanted, but a well-forgotten old one, which he loved to eat when he was still a child. And for me one of these dishes is an omelet like in kindergarten. It is completely different from the one that we fry in the morning in a pan, but rather a cross between an omelet and an airy casserole. One of the secrets of creating such a culinary miracle is precisely the use of not a frying pan, but an oven.

Lush, porous, tender and very tasty omelet in the oven as in the garden can be easily cooked. Once I was sure that flour, soda or baking powder must be added to such a dish to create the desired porous structure, and the procedure for beating the egg mass itself is especially careful and intense.

However, in reality, the cooking method turned out to be the simplest. Surprised by this, I decided to try to make the coveted dish from childhood on my own. It worked the first time. In the future, I cooked an omelet all the time, and it always turned out to be successful. And the dish consists of only four ingredients, the proportions of which must be observed to obtain the desired result.

Ingredients

  • eggs - 3 pcs.;
  • milk - 150 ml;
  • salt to taste;
  • butter for greasing the mold.


How to make a fluffy omelet like in kindergarten

Eggs, previously washed in running water with baking soda, are broken one by one and sent to a deep bowl. Add salt to taste.

Pour milk into the eggs.

Shake with a fork or a special whisk by hand. You do not need to use a mixer or blender, since our task is only to combine the ingredients with each other, and not turn them into a fluffy mass.

Lubricate a small refractory mold with butter. Then pour the whole egg-milk mixture into it. We put to bake in a preheated oven. The temperature should be 180 degrees.

Cooking time will depend on the height and size of the mold. But on average it lasts 30-40 minutes. After the omelet turns brown in the oven, you can open the oven door and check the readiness with a dry wooden stick.

It turned out an omelet, covered with a crust on top, and very tender and juicy inside.

As expected, the cross-section of the dish has a pronounced porous structure.

On a note

  • It is not recommended to open the oven door during the preparation of an omelet, so that it does not settle prematurely.
  • It should be borne in mind that during baking, the mass rises, and the ready-made dish, taken out of the oven, falls off a little.
  • To get a really tall and fluffy egg dish, you need to cook it in a tall, small pan.
  • For easier and more comfortable whipping, the milk needs to be slightly warmed up, and the eggs should be removed from the refrigerator some time before cooking, so that they are at room temperature.
  • The best whipping tool is a long-tine fork. It allows you to thoroughly mix the ingredients without the formation of foam, which is required for a real omelet.
  • Some housewives recommend whipping the milk before adding it to the egg mixture. Due to the saturation with oxygen, the dish is airy and lush.
  • If you need to cook more or less omelet, the proportions should be observed: 50 ml of milk is taken for one chicken egg.

  • If you want to diversify the classic kindergarten-style omelette recipe, you can add diced ham, herbs, olives or cheese to the egg mass. You can also experiment with adding vegetables, just not too juicy.
  • It should be borne in mind that various additives affect the splendor of the omelet. The higher the percentage of their content in the dish, the denser and lower it will be.
  • Omelet in the oven for children can be prepared not in a large form, but in small portioned tins. For example, cupcakes are good. At the same time, it is important to regulate the cooking time, since due to the difference in the size of the molds, it may differ.
  • There are situations when there is no way to cook a lush omelet like in a garden in the oven. In this case, a multicooker can replace it. The ingredients are taken the same, a multicooker bowl is used as a form, which must be greased with butter. The dish is cooked in the "Baking" mode for 10-20 minutes, depending on the power of the device. Readiness is also checked with a wooden stick or toothpick.
