Cheese Omelette (Omelette Au Fromage)

Recipe #271739 | 8 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This recipe comes from Urbain Dubois & Emile Bernard, "La Cuisine classique", 1864. Yes 1864. The flavor is great, and placing the parmesan cheese into the eggs separates the cheese flavors. Preparation time includes grating the cheese and mixing the eggs. Cooking times very to taste. Some like eggs well done, I prefer them just set. This I leave up to you to decide. This recipe yields 2 servings.

This is a nice, basic cheese omelet. There are lots of possibilities to add in. This was made as per recipe and garnished with fresh chives. Made for PAC Spring 2008.

    I used seasoning salt and I omitted the nutmeg and pepper. It was a very easy omelette and tasty because of the cheeses. Next time, I will try adding some sliced mushrooms that are previously cooked in a skillet. Thanks George Made for PAC Spring 2008 And as you can see in my photo, I didn't bother to flip it LOL I scrambled it at first, and then I think of flipping it but it was too late.
