This cheese omelette is a delightful combination of fluffy eggs and melty cheddar cheese, making for a comforting meal or snack. With just a few ingredients and simple preparation, it’s perfect for anyone seeking a quick and satisfying dish.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter, separated
  • 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chives, minced
  • 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until fully combined.
  2. Add a pinch of salt to the eggs and whisk again. Set the mixture aside.
  3. Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add ½ tablespoon of butter.
  4. Once the butter has melted, ensure it coats the skillet evenly, then pour in the eggs.
  5. Avoid stirring the eggs initially; let them sit for 10–15 seconds to form curds. Use a spatula to lift the edges and push the curds towards the center, allowing uncooked egg to fill the spaces.
  6. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
  7. When the eggs are nearly set and the cheese has melted, fold the omelette in half with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  8. Add the remaining butter to the skillet along the folded edge of the omelette.
  9. Gently shake the skillet to loosen the omelette, then carefully tip it onto a plate.
  10. Garnish with chives, if desired, and serve.
