Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Once the butter is melted and starts to slightly bubble, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Swirl the skillet gently to ensure the eggs spread evenly across the surface.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly golden, while the top is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, gently fold the empty half of the omelette over the cheese-covered side to form a semi-circle.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelette to cook through but still be tender inside.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve hot.
