Cheese and Chive Omelet image

I wanted to use up some egg whites, chives and left over cheese I had in the refrigerator so adapted this recipe from Bon Appetit (November 2006)with my changes. The original recipe used whole eggs and cheddar cheese.

Time 10m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
1/2 cup egg white
1 -2 tablespoon chopped chives
salt
pepper
1 cup grated cheese (I used Monterey Jack but a combination of cheeses or your favorite cheese will work well)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, chives, salt and pepper (I used a lot of pepper) in a bowl.
  • In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add egg mixture to pan, cooking for a few minutes until almost set, lifting sides so egg mixture can run under.
  • Grate (or sprinkle) cheese over top of eggs (I grated it right over the eggs) and cook a few more minutes until cheese melts.
  • Fold 1/3 of the omelet over the center and then the other side over the center.
  • Turn omelet onto plate and cut in half or thirds.
