Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette while tilting the pan slightly to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until the top surface begins to set but is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese-covered half.
Allow the omelette to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to desired doneness.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately.
