Whimsical French Dream Omelette recipe - French easy difficulty dish

Difficulty: EASY

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Serving Size: Serves 1

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and foam but not brown.
  3. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute the eggs evenly.
  4. As the edges begin to set, gently stir with a spatula, pulling the cooked edges toward the center and tilting the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
  5. When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the Gruyère cheese and chives over one half.
  6. Fold the omelette in half and let it cook for an additional minute until the cheese melts.
  7. Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnishing with extra chives if desired, and serve immediately.
