Cheese Soufflé Omelette
This delicious fluffy omelettes recipe is inspired by a recipe in The Good Cook series Eggs and Cheese (Time-Life Books, 1980).
3 eggs separated
1T butter at room temperature
Salt and freshly ground pepper
¼ cup grated semi-hard cheese, such as mature cheddar
1T butter
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Separate the eggs, putting whites into a medium bowl and yolks into a small bowl. Add butter to egg yolks, season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, mix together with a fork, and set aside.
- Beat egg whites with a whisk until medium-stiff peaks form. Fold egg-yolk mixture and cheese into egg whites and set aside.
- Melt butter in well-seasoned or nonstick ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into pan and spread evenly in pan.
- Cook the omelette, gently shaking pan over heat occasionally, until bottom is golden, 2-3 minutes.
- Lift edge of omelette with a spatula and fold in half. Transfer pan to oven and cook omelette until center is just set (omelette will continue to puff while baking), 3-4 minute. Serve immediately.
