In most cases, housewives prepare an omelet according to family recipes, trying to repeat the actions of their mothers or grandmothers.

Therefore, they rarely think about the need to introduce this or that component.

However, there are special rules that allow you to make the most delicious omelette. Therefore, the question of the need to add milk is very relevant, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the BelNovosti online publication.

Should you add milk to an omelette or should you do without this ingredient?

It is worth noting that milk is primarily added to achieve a fluffy and tender texture. However, this is a very common misconception.

This component not only fails to cope with the task, but can also ruin the omelette itself.

If you want the dish to be truly airy and tender, then it would be wiser to avoid adding milk.

If you want to give your omelette a characteristic creamy taste, then you should follow one rule: add a piece of butter to the vegetable oil.

In this case, the omelette will be fluffy and delicious.
