How to prepare Light Parsley Omelette
To prepare the light parsley omelette, first crack the eggs, separating the yolks from the whites 1. Beat the yolks in a bowl with a fork, then add the grated cheese 2, the sifted flour 3,
the milk 4, salt and pepper, and beat again with the fork 5 to mix the ingredients well and obtain a homogeneous mixture 6.
Wash, dry, and finely chop the parsley and set it aside. Beat the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer (7-8), then gently fold in the chopped parsley 9.
Always very gently, fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites 10 and mix with a spatula from the bottom upwards, to avoid deflating the egg whites 11. Heat the olive oil in a pan, then pour in the final mixture 12.
Let it cook over low heat for a few minutes, covering the omelette with a lid 13; flip the omelette to the other side with the help of the lid 14, and finish cooking. Serve your light parsley omelette hot 15!
