Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Gruyère cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them until the whites and yolks are fully combined.
Add the dry white wine, heavy cream, salt, and ground black pepper into the bowl with the eggs, and whisk until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, swirling it to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, allowing any uncooked egg to flow underneath, and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes or until mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using the spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the cheese and let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
