Cheese Omelette

Ingredients

• Chicken Egg 3 pieces
• Olive Oil 1 tablespoon
• Butter 0 oz
• Gruyère cheese 0 oz
• Salt to taste
• Ground Black Pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Beat the eggs in a bowl until smooth, but do not add salt or pepper.

Step 2

Place a 20 cm (8 inch) frying pan for the omelet over a fairly high heat. Add olive oil to the pan. When the pan is hot, add butter and tilt the pan until the butter melts.

Step 3

Pour in the beaten eggs and stir them in the pan using circular motions with a whisk, while gently shaking the pan. At this stage, it is important to achieve a uniform creamy consistency. When the mixture begins to thicken noticeably, stop stirring and let the omelet rest for 30 seconds so that it slightly sets at the bottom. Use a spatula to lift the edges.

Step 4

Wrap your free hand with a clean linen towel, lift the skillet off the heat, tilt it away from you, and tap the far edge against the table a couple of times. The omelet will detach from the bottom of the skillet and start to move towards the far side. Season the omelet with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with grated cheese. Now, take hold of the skillet handle again and, tossing it slightly, fold the far third of the omelet towards the center. Next, bring the skillet to a warmed plate and let the omelet slide onto it. The cheese will melt from the heat in the tender center of the omelet. Serve immediately.
