Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup gruyère cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, dry white wine, and heavy cream until fully combined and frothy.
Stir in kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
After 24 hours, remove the egg mixture from the refrigerator and gently whisk again to redistribute ingredients.
In a large nonstick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until foamy but not browned.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to ensure even coverage.
Once the edges of the omelet are set but the center is still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and gruyère cheese over half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half to enclose the cheesy filling.
Cook for another minute to melt the cheese fully, then slide the omelet onto a serving plate.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with a fresh green salad or crusty bread for the best experience.
