Yield 1 omelet

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Chopped chives, sliced tomato, and buttered toast for serving

Steps:

  • Using a fork, beat eggs with 1 teaspoon water until yolks and whites are completely combined and no streaks remain. The water helps incorporate them and steams while the omelet cooks, which puffs it up. Season with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and a few cracks of pepper.
  • Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foaming;swirl to coat. When foam subsides, pour eggs into center of skillet. Let stand 10 seconds. Stir eggs with a rubber spatula in a circular motion with one hand while shaking skillet with the other, about 15 seconds. Reduce heat to medium. Working your way around skillet, gather outer set eggs toward center, then tip skillet so runny eggs move to outside edges, about 1 minute. Lightly spread any remaining runny eggs evenly over top and cook until creamy but no longer wet.
  • Sprinkle cheddar onto far side of omelet. Remove from heat. Tip pan away from you; gently slide spatula under near side of omelet and fold up and over cheese. Slide onto a warm plate. Top with chopped chives and serve, with sliced tomato sprinkled with salt and buttered toast, if desired.

CHEESE OMELETTE

My husband loves omelettes and nothing makes him happier. When cooking an omelette, it's important that you keep your temperature on the low side, as you don't want your omelette to get brown.

Time 15m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 eggs
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup shredded Emmentaler cheese

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.

CHEESE OMELETTE (OMELETTE AU FROMAGE)



Cheese Omelette (Omelette Au Fromage) image

This recipe comes from Urbain Dubois & Emile Bernard, "La Cuisine classique", 1864. Yes 1864. The flavor is great, and placing the parmesan cheese into the eggs separates the cheese flavors. Preparation time includes grating the cheese and mixing the eggs. Cooking times very to taste. Some like eggs well done, I prefer them just set. This I leave up to you to decide. This recipe yields 2 servings.

CHEESE OMELET

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 large Grade A eggs
2 slices American cheese
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Equipment: 9-inch non-stick skillet and an immersion blender
  • Add oil to the skillet over high heat, and heat it until small hairline ripples appear on the surface of the oil.
  • Break the eggs into tall glass or frappe cup and whisk to blend for 1 minute. (The Waffle House uses a 15,000 rpm malt shop mixer.)
  • While moving the skillet in a circular motion, pour in the eggs. Continue to move the skillet in a circular motion, allowing the outside of the eggs to cook and fluff up. When the outside edges have firmly cooked, flip the omelet and cook on the other side for approximately 30 seconds. Keep moving the pan in a circular motion, but not as often as before it was flipped. (Too much movement at this time will cause the omelet to fall.) Flip the omelet once more to finish cooking--no more than 30 additional seconds.
  • Overlap 2 slices of American cheese in the center of the omelet in a diamond shape.
  • Fold the omelet in half, being certain to cover the cheese slices, and slide it onto your plate.

ANTONI POROWSKI'S FRENCH OMELET WITH CHEESE AND CHIVES



Antoni Porowski's French Omelet With Cheese and Chives image

There's nothing quite like a classic omelet. On Netflix's "Queer Eye," Antoni Porowski, the food-focused member of the Fab 5, teaches the people he helps make over how to nourish themselves in an accessible way. This simple but sophisticated recipe, adapted from his cookbook, "Antoni in the Kitchen," follows in that vein. It requires few ingredients and a dextrous hand: You'll want to consider your ingredients carefully, and take care to not overmix the eggs. Keep it simple, or add mix-ins. Serve it alone, or pair it, as he suggests, with a favorite salad.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large eggs
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, preferably European-style or cultured
Pinch of kosher salt
1/3 cup coarsely grated Gruyère, sharp Cheddar or Fontina
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon or kosher salt
Black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until well combined and smooth, taking care not to whip in too much air. The point is to combine the yolks and whites very well.
  • In a small nonstick skillet over medium-low, heat 1 tablespoon butter until the butter has melted and just begins to foam.
  • Pour in the eggs. Working quickly with one hand, gently move the pan in a circular motion over the heat (this will keep the eggs moving and evenly cooking). With your other hand, use a small rubber spatula (or chopsticks) to stir the eggs in a loose figure-eight pattern, creating small curds and scraping down the side of the skillet as you go. Continue until the eggs are mostly cooked through but just a little runny on top, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the omelet with a pinch of salt, then sprinkle the cheese down the center. Gently shake the pan so that the omelet shifts toward the side of the pan opposite the handle and up the side of the pan. The part of the omelet above the edge of the pan should fold back over on itself - use your rubber spatula to give it a hand, if it doesn't.
  • Slide 1 tablespoon of butter underneath the omelet that's still in the pan. (This will help keep the omelet tender and soft - and it tastes really good.)
  • Using the spatula, roll up the omelet, then flip it seam-side down onto a warm serving plate. Slide the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter across the top, then sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper and the chives. Serve hot.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of coarsely ground fresh pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallion

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until frothy.
  • Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium until your hand feels warm when held about 2 inches above the surface. Add oil or butter, and swirl to coat the bottom of skillet evenly.
  • Pour whisked eggs into skillet; let set slightly. With a heatproof flexible spatula, push eggs from edge toward center; tilt pan to let egg fill spaces. Repeat until omelet is just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese and scallion over half of the omelet, leaving the half closer to the skillet handle uncovered (to make it easier to remove from pan). Using the same spatula, gently fold omelet over filling. Tilt skillet, and slide filled omelet onto a serving plate (don't worry if there are a few rips).
