Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 large eggs (separated)
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 5 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instruction

  • Add egg whites to a large mixing bowl. Beat at high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk egg yolks, salt and pepper.
  • Add half of the egg whites into the egg yolk bowl. Sprinkle in 2 tbsp of cheese. Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites in until they are incorporated into the egg yolks. Your mixture should look light yellow and fluffy. (See photo in post for reference.)
  • Add butter to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and bring to medium heat. Once butter is melted, move it around the skillet until the skillet surface is coated in butter.
  • While skillet is heating up, add in remaining egg whites to your egg yolk mixture. Gently fold in until egg whites are mostly incorporated. This should be done quickly and shouldn't take long. It's okay to have a few small lumps of egg whites.
  • Pour batter into the heated skillet. Use spatula to spread the batter evenly across the surface of the skillet. Cover skillet with a lid.
  • Cook until the bottom of the omelette has turned a light golden brown and surface of the egg is just set. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and chives. Cover with lid and cook an additional minute or until cheese is melted.
  • Carefully slide egg onto a plate. Use a spatula to fold omelette in half. If desired, garnish with more chives before serving.
