Cheese Omelette
This easy cheese omelette uses eggs, butter, cheddar, and salt plus a simple curd-forming technique for a quick, cheesy breakfast.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter separated
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese
Optional Garnish
- 1 teaspoon chives minced
- 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add a pinch of salt and whisk again. Set aside.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ½ tablespoon of the butter.
- When the butter has melted, spread it evenly across the skillet. Pour in the eggs.
- Do not stir the eggs. Let a curd form for 10–15 seconds. Use a spatula to carefully lift the edge and push the large curds toward the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow into the open space and contact the skillet.
- Sprinkle the cheddar over the omelette.
- When the eggs are mostly cooked and the cheese is melted, use a spatula to fold half of the omelette over itself. Cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet and run it along the folded edge of the omelette.
- Carefully shake the skillet to loosen the omelette, then tip the skillet and slide the omelette onto a plate.
- Top with the optional garnishes and serve.
