Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredients
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for glazing
Fillings and Toppings
- Boursin cheese (or any creamy cheese you prefer), quantity as desired for piping
- Potato chips to taste (sour cream and onion recommended)
- Chives to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and smooth. Pass the mixture through a fine strainer to ensure a silky texture for your omelette.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick pan over high heat for 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely, coating the pan.
- Add the Eggs: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the strained egg mixture. Whisk gently in the pan for a couple of seconds to prevent the edges from crisping up and to encourage an even set of the omelette.
- Set the Base and Add Cheese: When the omelette base is set but the center still has loose curds, season with salt. Pipe or spoon your preferred amount of Boursin cheese evenly over the surface.
- Fold the Omelette: Carefully roll or fold the omelette to encase the cheese filling. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Glaze the top with a little extra butter for shine and flavor.
- Add Chips and Chives: Garnish the omelette with a handful of crushed or whole potato chips and sprinkle fresh chives over the top for a fragrant and crunchy finish.
Notes
- Use creamy cheese like Boursin for optimal flavor and texture, but any soft cheese can be substituted.
- Adjust the quantity of potato chips based on your preferred crunchiness and salt level.
- Passing the eggs through a strainer helps create a smooth omelette without lumps.
- Cook the eggs on medium-low heat to avoid browning and ensure tenderness.
- Serve immediately for best texture, as the chips may soften over time.
