Ingredients
Scale
Omelette Base
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter + more for glazing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Fillings and Toppings
- Boursin cheese (or any creamy cheese of your choice)
- Potato chips to taste (sour cream and onion recommended)
- Chives to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: Whisk together the eggs and milk thoroughly, then pass the mixture through a strainer to achieve a smooth texture for a silky omelette.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a pan on high for 1 minute, then add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely.
- Cook the Eggs: Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the egg mixture. Whisk gently in the pan for a couple of seconds to prevent the edges from crisping up and to help the eggs set evenly.
- Add Seasonings and Cheese: Once the bottom of the omelette is set with slightly loose curds remaining on top, sprinkle salt and pipe the Boursin cheese over the surface.
- Fold the Omelette: Carefully roll or fold the omelette over itself, then serve it on a plate and glaze the surface with some additional butter for extra richness.
- Add Chips and Chives: Garnish the omelette with your chosen potato chips and chopped fresh chives to add a crunchy texture and a burst of flavor.
Notes
- Using a strainer for the egg mixture helps create a smooth, creamier omelette texture.
- Adjust the heat to medium-low to avoid browning the eggs and to keep them soft and tender.
- You can use any creamy cheese in place of Boursin if preferred, such as cream cheese or goat cheese.
- Choose your favorite flavored potato chips for a fun twist; sour cream and onion pairs well with the cheese.
- Adding butter at the end enhances flavor and gives the omelette a beautiful glossy finish.
