This is a very fluffy omelet because we beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks! It’s an airy omelet that has a beautiful consistency which may seem a bit contradictory :-) It’s really good and rather easy to make :-) Moreover, it’s quite a change regarding standard omelet ;-) Try it and see for yourself :-)
