Egg mixture

Crack and combine

Prepare the cheese
Shred about 60 g of cheddar (or your preferred cheese) and have it ready on a small plate so you can add it quickly when the omelette is nearly set.
Cooking & finishing
- 4
Heat the pan
Place a nonstick or well-seasoned 8–10 inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add 15 g unsalted butter and swirl until melted and foaming but not browned (about 30–45 seconds). Reduce heat slightly if butter starts to brown.

Cook the eggs gently
Pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan and let it sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds until the edges begin to set. Using a silicone spatula, gently pull the set edges toward the center while tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Repeat this motion every 15–20 seconds until the surface is mostly set but still slightly glossy on top (total cook time ~1.5–2 minutes).

Add the cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over one half of the omelette while the top is still slightly moist so the cheese melts into it (about 20–30 seconds).
- 7
Fold and finish
Use the spatula to fold the omelette in half over the cheese. Let it cook for another 20–30 seconds to ensure the cheese melts and the center finishes cooking but remains tender. Avoid overcooking — the interior should be soft, not dry.
