Ingredients

Directions

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the walnut-sized piece of butter.
  3. Melt the butter, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly, until it foams but does not brown.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs into the center of the pan.
  5. Using a fork or spatula, stir the eggs rapidly in a circular motion while tilting the pan to ensure even cooking and create small curds.
  6. Continue stirring for about 30-45 seconds until the eggs are still wet and glossy but no longer liquid.
  7. Stop stirring and let the eggs set for a few seconds to form a thin layer on the bottom.
  8. Sprinkle the grated cheese and croutons evenly over one half of the omelette.
  9. Gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling using a spatula.
  10. Cook for another 30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt slightly, then slide the omelette onto a warm plate.
  11. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
