Making omelets is simple and takes just a few minutes. And with a bit of imagination you can create your own special omelets! Here's how I make my egg omelets with chives, and I'll give you some hints on experimenting with omelets!
Serves 2
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon minced onions
- 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Break eggs into a medium bowl and beat with a fork or whisk until combined but not too frothy. Add remaining ingredients except for the butter.
Melt the butter over medium heat.
When the butter stops foaming, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and swirl the skillet to cover the bottom
As eggs set, take a spatula and push the edges of the egg mixture in, allowing the uncooked eggs on top to flow underneath and make direct contact with the skillet.
Repeat the procedure at various spots around the edge of the setting egg mixture.
Flip omelet over and continue to cook until eggs are set.
Remove the omelet from the heat. The whole process should take just 2 or 3 minutes.
