Once thickened, remove from heat and pour the lemon filling over the cooled crust.

Prepare the Meringue:

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy.

Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.

Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form and the sugar is dissolved.

Beat in the vanilla extract.

Assemble and Bake:

Spread the meringue over the lemon filling, making sure to seal the edges to prevent the meringue from shrinking.

Use a spoon or spatula to create peaks in the meringue for a decorative effect.

Light and fluffy omelet for breakfast.

by


 

Ingredients


4 eggs, if possible, pasteurized.


1-2 tablespoons of oil for frying.


3 tablespoons of butter with salt, or if using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.


Cheese (if you like) – A little bit of your favorite cheese, like cheddar or gruyere.


Green onion (if desired) – Finely chopped, to sprinkle on top.


Preparation


Step 1: Beat the eggs.


Using an electric mixer:


Mix the eggs: Break all four eggs into a bowl.


Beat the eggs with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. This means the eggs will keep their form while being soft and fluffy.


Manually:


Split the eggs: Gently divide the egg whites from the yolks, putting the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.


Beat the egg whites: Use a hand whisk to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. When the egg whites have firm peaks, they will stand up straight when you lift the whisk.


Mix the egg yolks with a fork until they are smooth.


Step 2: Prepare the Soufflé Mixture

Mix the whipped egg whites with the egg yolks by gently folding one-third of the whites into the yolks using a spatula. This helps to make the yolks lighter and easier to mix with the other ingredients.


Fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture gently and quickly. Folding the eggs gently is crucial to keep them light and fluffy. Avoid stirring or mixing too hard.


Advice: Some cooks recommend mixing the egg yolks into the egg whites instead of the other way around to maintain the fluffiness more effectively. Test both techniques to find out which one suits you better.


Step 3: Make the Soufflé Mixture


Warm up the pan: Put a non-stick pan on low heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Let the oil warm up slowly.


Add the soufflé mixture to the pan once the oil is hot. Cover the pan right away with a lid to keep the heat in and cook for approximately three minutes.


Step 4: Put butter and any extra ingredients you want.


Look for bubbles: When you notice bubbles appearing on the top of the soufflé, take off the lid.


Raise the soufflé: Use a big spatula to carefully lift the soufflé from the pan.


Put some salted butter under the soufflé so it can melt and cover the bottom of the omelet. This makes it more flavorful and stops it from sticking.


You can add cheese flakes and chopped green onions for more flavor if you want.


Step 5: Serve right away


Take the omelet out of the pan once the butter has melted and the omelet is cooked but still soft. Place it gently on a plate.


Fold the omelet in half before serving it for a classic presentation. Enjoy your light and fluffy omelet immediately!


Advice for Making the Best Fluffy Omelet


Use fresh eggs: The newer the eggs, the tastier the soufflé. Fresh eggs are better for whipping and maintain their shape for a longer time.


Cook the omelet slowly over low heat to make sure it cooks evenly without burning or shrinking.


Be careful when combining the egg whites with the yolks to keep the mixture fluffy.


Serve the soufflé omelets right away because they deflate quickly and taste best when fresh.

Hands down, the best way to eat potatoes! I love this one!

by


 


Ingredients


Massive russet potatoes four Ezoic varieties


Edoic olive oil, salt


Dip it in butter, bitter cream, cheese, chives, bacon pieces, or your favorite toppings—the choice is yours!


Preparation


Begin by washing the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Set aside. Dry them with a transparent dish towel.


To prevent the potatoes from exploding during cooking, use a fork to puncture many holes around each one.


To make the skin crispy, coat the potatoes evenly with olive oil, being sure to cover all surfaces. Then, season with salt. Add a liberal amount of salt to season both sides.


To ensure consistent frying and crispiness, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for around 5 minutes.


After the air fryer is heated, carefully stack the seasoned potatoes in the basket, making sure they don’t overlap, so air can circulate evenly. This is how you make Ezoic Air Fry Potatoes.


Put the potatoes in an air fryer and cook for 35 to 40 minutes, turning them over halfway through. The potatoes are done when they are soft on the inside and slightly browned on the outside; the exact amount of time to cook them depends on their size and thickness.


Toss and Top: After the potatoes are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and set aside to cool for a few minutes. To make the potatoes fluffy, cut them lengthwise and then fluff them inside with a fork.


Top the Air Fryer Baked Potatoes with your favorite toppings—butter, bitter cream, shredded cheese, chives, bacon pieces, or anything else you like—and serve them hot.


Delight in: Savouring the delicious combination of crunchy exterior and fluffy potato flesh. Perfect for topping off any dish, these Air Fryer Baked Potatoes are sure to please.


Also, remember to check out Yorkshire puddings.


Even with the convenience of an air fryer, getting perfectly cooked potatoes—crisp and fluffy—has never been easier. Enjoy the classic comfort of baked potatoes with less work and time spent on this savory yet simple dish. No matter how you serve them, Air Fryer Baked Potatoes will quickly become a go-to side dish or main dish accompaniment. Get ready to enjoy the crispiness of those delicious potatoes by heating up your air fryer.
