Cheese Omelette Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk (or as needed)
• Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter
• cup shredded Emmentaler cheese

Directions

1. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, adding milk and seasoning with salt and white pepper. Whisk until the egg mixture becomes foamy, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it so the bottom is evenly covered. Let it cook until the edges begin to set, about 1 minute.
4. Use a spatula to lift the edges of the omelette, tilting the skillet so the uncooked egg flows to the bottom to cook. Repeat this until the egg is almost fully set and no visible liquid remains.
5. Carefully flip the omelette and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute to ensure it is heated through.
6. Sprinkle the shredded Emmentaler cheese down the center of the omelette and fold it in half. Let it cook for about 20 seconds or until the cheese has melted.
7. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot.

Cook's Note

You can substitute any cheese you like, though Emmentaler cheese is particularly delicious in this recipe.
