Souffléd beef omelette

Ingredients:

- 3 eggs
- salt
- 1/2 tbsp plain flour
- 200g minced beef (see recipe here)
- vegetable oil to fry



Preparing the omelette:

Prepare the beef and set aside to rest.
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, adding the whites to a bowl.
Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they become firmer.
Add a pinch of salt, and the three yolks, whisking until they are incorporated to the whites.
Add the flour and mix again.
On a frying pan, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan completely. The omelette should float on the oil without touching the bottom of the pan.
Wait until the oil is very hot and add half the whisked eggs. With a spoon, try to make a round shape with the omelette if necessary.
Add half of the prepared beef to half the omelette, leaving half without filling.
With a spatula, fold the empty half over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
Turn to fry a little more on the other side.
Put aside to rest on kitchen towel, to absorve the oil.



Repeat with the rest of the material.

Obs.: you can change the filling to anything you like, but bear in mind the filling cannot be too heavy, as it can pass through the egg and break the omelette.
