Cheese omelet
This breakfast cheese omelette is a delightful morning option. My husband is a devoted fan of omelets, and they never fail to brighten his day. When preparing an omelet, it's crucial to maintain a gentle heat, as you'll want to avoid any excessive browning.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
- salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup shredded Emmentaler cheese
Instructions
- Whisk eggs in a bowl; add milk and season with salt and white pepper. Whisk until egg mixture is foamy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and swirl the skillet, so the bottom is evenly covered with egg. Cook until egg starts to set about 1 minute. Lift edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet so uncooked egg can flow towards the bottom of the skillet to set. Repeat until no visible liquid egg remains.
- Carefully flip omelets cook until warmed through, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle Emmentaler cheese down the middle of omelets fold in half. Cook until cheese is melted, about 20 seconds. Slide omelets onto a plate.
