Steps

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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!
