PUFFY OMELET

Steps:

• In a large bowl, let egg whites warm to room temperature about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• On high, beat egg whites with mixer with cream of tartar just until stiff peaks form when beaters are slowly raised.
• In small bowl, using the same beaters, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored.
• Add salt, pepper, and milk gradually, beat until well combined.
• With a wire whisk or rubber spatula gently fold egg yolk mixture into the egg whites just until combined.
• Slowly heat a 9-10" heavy skillet with heat resistant handle, or an omelet pan.
• (To test temperature sprinkle a little cold water on skillet. Water should sizzle and roll off in drops).
• Add butter and oil; heat until it sizzles briskly-it should not brown.
• Tilt pan to coat side with butter mixture.
• Spread egg mixture evenly in pan; cook over low heat, without stirring, until lightly browned on underside-about 10 minutes.
• Transfer skillet to oven, bake 10-12 minutes or until top seems firm when gently pressed with fingertip.
• To serve, fold omelet in half.
• Turn out onto heated serving platter.
• Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
