Method
0 of 8 done- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two clean bowls.
- Beat the egg yolks with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Stir in half the grated cheese, reserving the other half for later.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks, which should stand upright without collapsing when the whisk is lifted.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites. The mixture should be light and fluffy.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick, oven-safe frying pan over medium heat. Once melted and foaming, pour in the egg mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cook the omelette on the stovetop for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is slightly set but the top is still wet.
- Scatter the remaining cheese over the top of the omelette, then place the pan under the grill. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the omelette is puffed and golden brown.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, fold it in half, and garnish with minced chives if desired. Serve immediately.
