Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup (shredded) Gruyere cheese
- 4 slices (thinly sliced and chopped) prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) scallions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat an oven-safe skillet (such as a cast iron pan) over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 4
Add the chopped prosciutto to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crispy.
Step 5
Add the sliced scallions to the pan and cook for another 1 minute until softened.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly across the pan.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed up, golden brown, and the center is set.
Step 9
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (use oven mitts as it will be very hot) and let the omelet cool for 2-3 minutes.
Step 10
Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
