Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup grated Gruyère or Comté cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon water (optional, for fluffier texture)
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add water if desired. Beat with a fork until yolks and whites are just combined; do not overbeat.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and swirl until melted and foamy but not browned.
- Pour in the eggs. Let them set for a few seconds until the bottom begins to set. Using a rubber spatula, push cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Repeat until eggs are mostly set but still moist on top.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the omelette. Remove pan from heat. Fold one side of the omelette over the cheese, then fold the other side over to form a roll. Slide onto a plate, seam side down. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, use a mixture of Gruyère and Brie.
- Serve with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
