Double Cheese Omelette

7 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/2 ounce parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 slice butter

Directions

  1. 1
    Beat the eggs in a bowl with the Cheddar and Parmesan, half the chives, and some salt and freshly ground pepper. Beat the cream cheese with the remaining chives.
  2. 2
    Heat a heavy-based frying pan over a fairly high heat and add the butter. Let it melt and heat through thoroughly. Give the egg mixture one last stir and pour into the pan.
  3. 3
    Swirl around to coat the base evenly then allow the omelette's edges to set. Loosen the edges with a fish slice or palette knife and lift the edges up here and there, letting the runny egg flow down.
  4. 4
    Repeat this process until the omelette is cooked, with just a film of moist egg remaining on the surface.
  5. 5
    Remove the omelette in its frying pan from direct heat. Spoon the cream cheese down the centre and fold the omelette over the cream cheese filling.
  6. 6
    Transfer the omelette to a warm serving plate, slice in half and serve at once.
