Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Prepare your cheese and optional chives, setting them aside for later.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly over the surface.
As the edges begin to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette and allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Repeat until the omelette is mostly set with a slight wetness on top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over half of the omelette and let it melt slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Using the spatula, fold the omelette in half to encase the cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
Slide the omelette out of the skillet onto a plate, garnish with chopped chives if using, and serve immediately.
