Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 5 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2

Necessary ingredients:
- 3 fresh eggs
- 2 teaspoons of flour
- 2 teaspoons of butter
- 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan (or cheese of your choice)
- 50 ml of milk (you can use skimmed, semi-skimmed, or even plant-based milk)
- 2-3 sprigs of fresh parsley
- A pinch of salt

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It is important for the eggs to be fresh to achieve a tastier omelette. Use a clean, dry bowl to avoid contaminating the egg whites.

2. Beating the egg whites: In a bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the egg whites until they form a foam with stiff peaks. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy omelette, so don’t skip it.

3. Chopping the parsley: Wash the parsley under cold running water and gently dry it with a paper towel. Finely chop it and add it to the bowl with the egg whites. Gently mix to combine the ingredients, being careful not to deflate the foam.

4. Preparing the yolks: In another bowl, beat the yolks with the flour, milk, and parmesan until you obtain a smooth mixture. You can also add a pinch of pepper or other preferred spices, such as garlic powder or paprika, for extra flavor.

5. Combining the ingredients: Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, using light up-and-down motions. This will help maintain the fluffy texture of the omelette.

6. Cooking the omelette: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt, but be careful not to burn it. Once the butter has melted, pour the omelette mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly.

7. Cooking the omelette: Allow the omelette to cook over medium heat until the bottom becomes golden and firm. Then, using a spatula, carefully flip the omelette to cook the other side. This step doesn’t take long, so be careful not to leave it on the heat too long.

8. Serving: Once the omelette is cooked, you can serve it warm or cold. It is wonderful both plain and alongside a fresh salad or with a slice of toasted bread. If you want to personalize it, you can add diced tomatoes, olives, or even a few slices of avocado.

Practical tips:
- You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or mozzarella, to vary the omelette's flavor.
- If you like a more intense flavor, you can add a few basil or dill leaves along with the parsley.
- Always use fresh ingredients to achieve the best results.
- Make sure the skillet is well-greased with butter to prevent the omelette from sticking.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can the omelette be frozen? Unfortunately, the texture of the omelette will not hold up well after freezing, but you can keep it in the fridge to consume in the following days.
- Can I use other greens? Absolutely! Spinach, green onions, or dill are excellent alternatives to vary the recipe.

I conclude with a friendly thought: don’t hesitate to experiment with this recipe! Every little detail can transform the omelette into something unique and personal. Enjoy your meal!
