How to cook an omelet in a slow cooker

It’s not so easy to prepare a fluffy omelette in a slow cooker. It’s not for nothing that professionals have been preparing it in French restaurants for a long time.

And then replace this recipe with another, for example, an omelette with sausage in a slow cooker or an omelette without milk in a slow cooker. Let's look at how to make an omelette in a slow cooker in several ways.

Omelet with cheese

Everyone knows an omelette with cheese in a slow cooker, as it is a common dish. True, it is most often prepared in the microwave. To prepare a dish according to this recipe, you need to add cheese to the classic recipe, 100 grams is enough. Grate this ingredient and then mix it with the rest. Instead of the “Steam” mode, it is better to use “Baking”, the time remains the same. But there is no need to add water to the recipe; it is better to remove this component.

Diet omelette

Diet omelette in a slow cooker is a classic recipe. After cooking is complete, you can decorate your breakfast with herbs. And if you are not afraid to add a drop of calories, then 5 minutes before the end of the program you can sprinkle the omelette with grated cheese. This ingredient will melt and create a delicious soft crust. You can also cook an omelette with vegetables in a slow cooker - it also turns out delicious. These ingredients should be crushed and added to the total mass of products, the benefits of the dish will immediately increase. An omelette with broccoli in a slow cooker is especially useful.

Recipe for omelet in a slow cooker with milk

Almost any omelet is prepared with milk, since an omelet made with water is not tasty. But since the recipe with milk has already been reviewed, I suggest preparing an omelette with cottage cheese in a slow cooker. The cottage cheese omelet turns out delicious, and for preparation you will need three ingredients: 4 eggs, 210 ml of milk and 125 g of cottage cheese. All ingredients should be mixed, seasoned and then baked for 20 minutes.

Fluffy omelet in a slow cooker

By airy recipe we mean steamed protein omelette in a slow cooker. In this case, we take the same ingredients as in the classic recipe, only we remove the egg yolks. You can cook a protein omelet in a multicooker either by steaming or using the “Baking” program. In the first case, there will be several times fewer calories, and more nutrients in the composition. By the way, an omelet with cauliflower in a slow cooker goes well with this recipe.

Omelet in a slow cooker with sausages

An omelet with sausages in a slow cooker is an analogue of an omelet with sausage. To make this recipe, you need to add sausages to any of the above recipes. This ingredient should be crushed and mixed with the total mass of products. You can also boil the sausages separately and then simply add them to the omelet. But the first option is preferable for many people. There is no need to boil the sausages in advance, but you can do it for 5 minutes if you wish.

Kindergarten omelet recipe

The dish, just like in kindergarten, is quite simple to prepare. This recipe is intended for those whose children are accustomed to kindergarten food and refuse to eat anything else. To do this, mix about 9 eggs, 510 ml of milk, a little butter and salt. The multicooker is greased with oil, the ingredients are mixed together, and then sent to the kitchen appliance. The dish is prepared in the “Baking” mode for half an hour. Can be served with greens, as they do in schools.

Lush omelet in a slow cooker

Kitchen utensils: a container for whipping the future omelet, a mixer (blender), a multicooker, a cutting board, a convenient knife.

Ingredients

Let's start cooking

1. Beat all 6 eggs one by one into a container and pour in 200 ml of milk. Then add pepper and salt.

   

2. On the board, finely chop all the sprigs of dill and add it to the future omelette. Beat everything with a mixer (blender).

   

3. Grease the bowl with vegetable oil (3 tablespoons). Let the multicooker warm up a little in the “Baking” mode.

   

4. After the bowl has warmed up, pour in the egg mixture, close the multicooker lid and set the operating time - 15 minutes.

   

Innings

All! Your dish is ready. From personal experience, I can note that after the multicooker has finished cooking, you should leave the omelette in the bowl for a few minutes rather than take it out right away. Let it settle a little, and then divide into portions and place on a plate. You can also decorate the dish with a sprig of herbs or several slices of fresh vegetables.

By the way, if your child or you are lactose intolerant, it doesn’t matter, because you can always make an omelet without milk.

The first omelette was prepared in Austria or (according to other sources) in France. Moreover, in the French version, the eggs for the dish were not beaten, but only lightly mixed.

Secrets of making a fluffy omelette

If you want to make a vegetable omelet, you can add almost any vegetables there. The most common omelette is with tomatoes; this dish is prepared more often than others.

If you are preparing an omelette for dessert, you can decorate it with berries or sour cream on top. If desired, the dish can be sprinkled with herbs. This not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but also improves taste.

The more eggs, the more magnificent the dish turns out. But if you overdo it with this ingredient, the omelette will turn out terrible and tasteless.

After the program has completed, it is better not to open the multicooker lid for the first 10 minutes. Otherwise the dish will “fall”. For exactly the same reason, it is not recommended to open the lid during cooking.

Omelette in the microwave

Cooking baby food in the microwave is healthier than frying it in a frying pan. Omelette can also be made in the microwave. From about 10 months of age, the baby begins to be given eggs. We recommend taking quail ones for your first acquaintance. Pediatricians classify them as more useful and less allergenic. In addition, it is not necessary to separate the yolk of a quail egg.

First recipe

The usual recipe for the dish, but with quail eggs. For it we need to take:

• quail eggs - 3 pieces;
• homemade milk - 1/4 cup;
• butter (pre-melted) - teaspoon.

Preparation:

1. Beat milk and eggs.
2. Grease a microwave-safe dish with melted butter. Pour in the omelette mixture.
3. Set the cooking time to 3 minutes. Remove, let cool, serve.

The second recipe is an omelette with vegetables

Zucchini, broccoli, and tomatoes are suitable, but we chose others. For an omelet we take:

• eggs – 1 chicken or 4 quail;
• homemade milk – 1/3 cup;
• half a small carrot;
• cauliflower – 2-3 inflorescences;
• butter (pre-melted) - teaspoon.

Preparation:

1. Take a small saucepan and boil cauliflower and carrots in it.
2. Beat milk and selected eggs.
3. Take a microwave-safe bowl, grease it with oil, lay out the cooked vegetables, and fill it with the omelette mixture.
4. Set it to cook for 3 minutes, let it cool, and serve. If your baby likes greens, you can sprinkle on the omelet before serving.

To ensure that your child eats the omelette well, you can put a variety of vegetables or even fruits in it (see also:). Decorate the top too. Well, what kid would refuse such an interesting dish?

Third recipe - cottage cheese omelette

The cooking process is reminiscent of a casserole. This is approximately how it is, but the dish turns out light and tender. You will need:

• a chicken egg yolk or two quail yolks;
• milk - a third of a glass;
• cottage cheese – 100 grams;
• butter (melt in advance) – teaspoon.

Preparation:

1. Combine milk and egg, beat, add a little salt.
2. We rub the cottage cheese through a sieve and add it to the whipped omelette mixture.
3. Grease a microwave-safe dish with melted butter. Pour in our curd-egg-milk mixture.
4. Place on the stove for 3-4 minutes to cook. Let cool a little and serve.

The most important thing is that your child likes the prepared omelet, because every day it becomes more and more difficult to please a picky person
