Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 ounce Gruyere cheese
- 2 slices Canadian bacon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Finely chop the chives and set them aside. Grate the Gruyere cheese and set it aside as well.
Chop the Canadian bacon into small pieces or strips, and briefly sauté it in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until heated through and slightly browned. Remove the bacon and set it aside.
Heat the butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat until melted and slightly foamy, but not browned.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the chopped chives evenly over the surface of the eggs.
Add the Gruyere cheese and the sautéed Canadian bacon to one side of the omelette.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other side of the omelette over the filling. Allow it to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still tender.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with extra chives if desired, and serve immediately.
