Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of coarsely ground fresh pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallion

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until frothy.
  • Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium until your hand feels warm when held about 2 inches above the surface. Add oil or butter, and swirl to coat the bottom of skillet evenly.
  • Pour whisked eggs into skillet; let set slightly. With a heatproof flexible spatula, push eggs from edge toward center; tilt pan to let egg fill spaces. Repeat until omelet is just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese and scallion over half of the omelet, leaving the half closer to the skillet handle uncovered (to make it easier to remove from pan). Using the same spatula, gently fold omelet over filling. Tilt skillet, and slide filled omelet onto a serving plate (don't worry if there are a few rips).

I followed the recipe exactly, but my omelet didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The eggs were overcooked and the cheese was rubbery.

This omelet was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but it was still good.

I'm not a big fan of omelets, but this one was really good. The cheese was melted perfectly and the eggs were cooked to perfection.

This omelet was delicious! I used cheddar cheese, but I think next time I'll try it with Swiss.
