Steps
Prepare the Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until slightly frothy. Do not over-whisk; just enough to combine the whites and yolks.
Cook the Omelette
Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, pour in the whisked eggs. Let it cook for about 1-2 minutes without stirring, until the bottom sets but the top is still runny.
Add Cheese and Fold
Sprinkle half of the grated cheese over one half of the omelette. Gently push the edges of the omelette towards the center with a spatula, then fold the omelette in half so the cheese is enclosed. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelette reaches your desired consistency. Repeat the process with the remaining eggs and cheese for the second serving.
Serve
Serve immediately, fresh and hot. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Extra Tips
► Don't overcook the omelette; it will be truly soft and creamy if the center is still slightly runny.
► Use a non-stick pan so you can easily flip and fold the omelette.
► Experiment with different types of cheese, such as smoked cheese or goat cheese, for extra flavor!
