Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut apples into 1/4-inch slices.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of sweet butter in a large omelet pan over high heat.
  3. Sauté apple slices until just fork-tender, about 1 minute.
  4. Transfer sautéed apples to a plate and set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 5 eggs, 2 tablespoons of water or milk, salt, and freshly ground white pepper until blended.
  6. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the omelet pan over high heat, tilting the pan to coat the sides with butter.
  7. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently with a fork, until the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny on top.
  8. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of crumbled Roquefort cheese over one half of the omelet.
  9. Spoon half of the apple slices over the cheese.
  10. Fold the omelet in half over the filling.
  11. Transfer the omelet to a warm platter.
  12. Garnish with the remaining apple slices.

Note

Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Pink Lady for the best flavor contrast with the salty Roquefort.

Ensure the pan is hot before adding the eggs to achieve a good sear and prevent sticking.

Serve immediately while the omelet is warm and the cheese is melted.

If Roquefort is unavailable, Gorgonzola or Blue Cheese can be used as substitutes.
