Prep 5 minutes | Cook 10 minutes | Beginner | Serves 1 | French

This timeless French omelette is a symphony of simplicity and elegance, perfect for a delightful solo meal. The buttery, soft folds of eggs envelop melted cheese, creating a delicate dance of flavors that elevates the humble omelette to haute cuisine.

What you have

• eggs 2
• cheese 1/4 cup grated

Method

1. Step 1: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt.
2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt without browning.
3. Step 3: Pour the eggs into the pan, stirring gently with a spatula. As the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly across the surface.
4. Step 4: Continue to cook until the eggs are just firm, then fold one side over the other to form a semi-circle.
5. Step 5: Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with finely chopped chives, and serve immediately.
