Ingredients
- 3 Large Eggs, separated
- 2 tbsp Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1/4 cup Shredded Gruyere Cheese
- 1 tbsp Fresh Chives, chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Equipment
- hand mixer
Instructions
- Separate the eggs, placing the whites into a large clean bowl and the yolks into a separate smaller bowl. Add a pinch of salt to the whites.
- Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes. They should hold their shape firmly when you lift the beaters.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the egg yolks along with a pinch of pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
- Pour the yolk mixture over the whipped whites. Using a spatula, gently fold together with slow sweeping motions from the bottom up. Fold just until combined, being very careful not to deflate the whites. The batter should be airy and cloud-like.
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, swirling to coat the pan. Pour in the fluffy egg mixture and gently spread it into an even layer with the spatula. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is golden.
- Sprinkle the shredded gruyere over one half of the omelette. Cover the skillet with a lid and continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top of the omelette is just set but still pillowy and jiggly.
- Carefully fold the omelette in half using the spatula, then slide it onto a plate. Top with fresh chives and serve immediately while it is still tall and puffy.
