Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 small Pear
- 2 ounces Gruyere cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Peel (if preferred) and thinly slice the pear into even slices. Set aside.
Grate the Gruyere cheese and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the pear slices to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened and fragrant. Remove the pear slices and set aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly across the surface. Cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges of the omelet start to set.
Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over one half of the omelet and arrange the sautéed pear slices on top of the cheese.
Optional: Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the pear and cheese for added flavor.
Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the other half over the filling using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully cooked.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pear and Gruyere Omelet!
