Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Heat the unsalted butter in an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until melted and foamy. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.

  3. 3

    Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. As the edges begin to set, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.

  4. 4

    Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette. Continue to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the fresh chives over the cheese. Using the spatula, carefully fold the plain half of the omelette over the cheese and chive half. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
