I have prepared many different omelets, but I can say with confidence that this one is a real gem in my collection. And until recently, I didn't know anything about it, I never even came across a single picture on the Internet (which is strange, because there are a lot of fans of this omelet). Otherwise, I would have prepared this aerial miracle much earlier.
Such an omelet is easy to prepare, it will turn out the first time - the main thing is to beat the proteins well. They should be whipped into a very dense foam. This is the whole secret of success. It happens that the yolks are whipped on top, and the liquid protein remains unbroken at the bottom. This is what you need to avoid and make sure that everything is whipped evenly. Otherwise, there should be no problems.
