Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup (shredded) Gruyere cheese
- 4 slices (thinly sliced and chopped) prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) scallions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat an oven-safe skillet (such as a cast iron pan) over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Add the chopped prosciutto to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crispy.
Add the sliced scallions to the pan and cook for another 1 minute until softened.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly across the pan.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed up, golden brown, and the center is set.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (use oven mitts as it will be very hot) and let the omelet cool for 2-3 minutes.
Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
