Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (e.g., Gruyere, cheddar, or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (e.g., chives, parsley, or dill), chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 3
Pour half the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across the surface.
Step 4
Cook gently, occasionally lifting the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Avoid overcooking; the eggs should remain soft and custardy.
Step 5
Once the egg is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs over one half of the omelet.
Step 6
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half to enclose the filling. Cook for an additional 30-60 seconds until the cheese melts and the omelet is fully set but still tender.
Step 7
Gently transfer the omelet to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining butter, egg mixture, cheese, and herbs to prepare the second omelet.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with extra herbs if desired. Pair with toast, fresh fruit, or a side salad for a complete breakfast.
