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.
