Fluffy Omelet
[From America's Test Kitchen, Episode 1403: Three Ways With Eggs]
Serves 2
A teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice can be used in place of the cream of tartar, and a hand-held mixer or a whisk can be used in place of a stand mixer. We recommend using the fillings that accompany this recipe; they are designed not to interfere with the cooking of the omelet.
