Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces eggs
  • 60 g Tomme des Pyrénées cheese Can substitute with Gruyère cheese if needed.
  • 1 tbsp butter Or use non-stick cooking spray for a lighter version.
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley Freshly chopped for garnish.
  • to taste Salt Season to your preference.
  • to taste Black pepper Season to your preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Beat the eggs in a bowl, adding a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper until the mixture is light and frothy.
Cooking
  1. In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble slightly.
  2. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes.
  3. As the edges start setting, gently slide a spatula underneath to lift the cooked egg, allowing uncooked portions to flow to the bottom.
  4. When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the grated Tomme des Pyrénées cheese over one half.
  5. Carefully fold the omelet over the cheese and let it cook for another minute.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a quicker prep, grate cheese and chop parsley in advance. For added flavor, consider adding sautéed garlic or vegetables.
