Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and salt until light and frothy. In a separate, large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- 2Gently fold the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites. Beat the whole mixture together for a few minutes with the egg-beater. In an omelet pan or a large frying-pan, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbling hot. Pour in the omelet mixture. Stir it lightly for the first minute with a broad-bladed knife, then stop stirring. As the mixture begins to stiffen around the edge, fold the omelet toward the center with the knife. As soon as it is properly folded, turn it over onto a hot platter. Decorate with sprigs of parsley and serve.
