Omelette du Fromage Recipe

French · Main course · 8 min total

A classic French omelette filled with melted cheese, perfect for a quick breakfast or light lunch. This recipe yields a soft, creamy omelette with a golden exterior.

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup grated Gruyère or Emmental cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon water (optional, for fluffier eggs)

Instructions

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt, pepper, and water if using. Whisk vigorously until the whites and yolks are fully combined and slightly frothy.
2. Heat a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and swirl until melted and foamy but not browned.
3. Pour the eggs into the skillet. Let them set for a few seconds, then use a rubber spatula to stir the eggs in a circular motion, pushing cooked edges toward the center and tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow to the edges.
4. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the omelette.
5. Fold the omelette in half using the spatula. Tilt the pan to slide the omelette onto a plate, seam side down. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For a classic French omelette, avoid browning the eggs; the interior should be soft and creamy.
• Use a good melting cheese like Gruyère, Emmental, or even cheddar for a different flavor.
• If you prefer a firmer omelette, cook for an additional 30 seconds after folding.
