Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 individual blossoms chive blossoms
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Carefully rinse the chive blossoms under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside for garnish.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, tilting the pan to coat the entire surface.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Step 5
Using a silicone spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet, tilting the pan slightly to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat this process around the edges until the top is mostly set but still slightly glossy.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet and add the minced chives.
Step 7
Using the spatula, carefully fold the unfilled half of the omelet over the cheese-filled side. Gently press the top down to help the cheese melt.
Step 8
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is golden on the bottom.
Step 9
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with the fresh chive blossoms. Serve immediately and enjoy!
