beaten eggs

Omelet's first step

Beaten eggs are eggs that have been whisked or stirred vigorously to blend the yolks and whites together.

The beating incorporates air, creating a uniform mixture used in cooking and baking: Add the beaten eggs to the flour mixture.

The degree of beating varies by recipe—lightly beaten eggs are just combined, while thoroughly beaten eggs become frothy.
