Ingredients

• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 small Pear
• 2 ounces Gruyere cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel (if preferred) and thinly slice the pear into even slices. Set aside.

Step 2

Grate the Gruyere cheese and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.

Step 5

Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the pear slices to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened and fragrant. Remove the pear slices and set aside.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly across the surface. Cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges of the omelet start to set.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over one half of the omelet and arrange the sautéed pear slices on top of the cheese.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the pear and cheese for added flavor.

Step 9

Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the other half over the filling using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully cooked.

Step 10

Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pear and Gruyere Omelet!
