Ingredients

3 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pinch ground white pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
*3 tablespoons grated cheese, such as cheddar or Swiss (optional)

Directions

Place the eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper in the blender and mix until very frothy, about 1 minute. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and, when hot, add the butter to the pan, swirling to coat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Using the rubber spatula, stir continuously and scrape down sides so as to evenly cook the mixture. Once the mixture resembles wet scrambled eggs, after about 30 seconds, use the rubber spatula to smooth the eggs so that they are an even depth throughout. Cook until almost set, about 10 seconds longer, and use the rubber spatula to fold the omelet in 1/2. Carefully slide the omelet out of the pan onto the plate.

Serve immediately.

*If you want a cheesy omelet, sprinkle grated cheese over top of the omelet just before folding in 1/2.

Great
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The heavy cream really does the trick. I used Heavy Whipping Cream. Using 5 eggs I blended 3 tbs of cream along with peper,... salt, garlic powder, and Goya Adobo seasoning. Once the egg was almost cooked, I added chopped green onion. Before serving I used Mexican Style Cheese (Four Cheeses), finally topped with roasted chili. My husband loved it. I love to kick things up.Read more

It's true!

I tried the technique of putting the eggs in a blender before putting in a pan and it works. It made the omelet light and... fluffy and wonderful!! I also tried it with Skim milk as opposed to cream, much lighter, but it's your call. I also tried the same blender technique with basic scrambled eggs and it yielded the same result. This is a must try.Read more
