kcalIngredients
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons Boursin cheese (or any garlic and herb soft cheese)
1 tablespoon butter or oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as chives, parsley, or basil)
Extra Boursin cheese for topping (optional)
Directions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined.
- Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet, swirling the pan to evenly distribute them. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
- As the eggs start to firm up, spoon the Boursin cheese onto one half of the omelet.
- Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the cheese.
- Let the omelet cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
- For extra indulgence, add more Boursin cheese on top before serving.
Notes
- For a variation, add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or caramelized onions to the omelet for additional flavor.
- If you prefer a more fully cooked omelet, cook it a little longer before folding.
- Boursin can be replaced with any soft, creamy cheese like goat cheese or cream cheese for a different flavor.
