Three Cheese Omelet Recipes

CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl with a whisk. Add milk and season with salt and white pepper. Whisk for a few minutes until egg mixture is foamy; beating in air makes the omelette fluffy.
• Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and twirl skillet so bottom is evenly covered with egg. Cook for 1 minute until egg starts to set. Lift edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet so uncooked egg mixture can run towards the bottom of the skillet to set. Repeat until no visible liquid egg remains.
• Carefully flip omelette and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle Emmentaler cheese in one line in the middle of the omelette and fold omelette in half. Cook for 20 seconds, then slide omelette onto plate.

• Heat your pan to medium-low.
• While the pan is warming, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
• Add the olive oil to the pan and turn the heat up.
• Using a large rubber spoon spatula, fold the egg yolks, the cheddar cheese, half the Parmesan, and the chives into the egg whites.
• When the olive oil is hot, scrape and pour the egg mixture into the pan and smooth it out with the spoon spatula.
• Let the omelet cook for one minute.
• Then slide a thin spatula around the edges to loosen it, sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese all over the surface, and place the omelet under the broiler, about 4" from the heat.
• Let it cook for one more minute until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
• Next, remove the pan from broiler heat and slide a thin spatula around the edge and under the omelet to loosen it.

• Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan on top and serve.
