Instructions

Set The Station
Gather eggs, cheeses, butter, water, salt, and pepper, then set out a bowl, fork, grater, nonstick skillet, spatula, and plate. · 5 min
What to look for: All measured ingredients and tools are within reach.
Whisk The Eggs
Whisk eggs, water, salt, and black pepper until the mixture looks even and lightly foamy, with no clear strands of egg white. · 2 min

Melt The Butter
Heat the nonstick skillet over medium low heat, add butter, and swirl until the base is coated and the foam begins to settle. · 1 min

Set The Base
Pour in the egg mixture, tilt the pan, and gently push soft curds from the edge toward the center while liquid egg flows out. · 1 min
What to look for: Soft curds form while the top remains glossy.
Add The Cheese
Scatter Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Parmesan over one side while the egg surface is still moist, then lower the heat slightly. · 2 min

Fold And Finish
Fold the omelette in half with the spatula, cook 1 minute, and slide it gently to loosen the underside. · 2 min

Serve At Once
Serve immediately on warm plates while the center is still creamy and the Mozzarella gives a gentle cheese pull. · 1 min

Ingredient substitutions

Cheddar

Mozzarella: Use only if a milder, stretchier omelette is acceptable.

Mozzarella

Cheddar: Use for deeper flavor with less cheese pull.

Parmesan

Cheddar: Use for a less salty finish and a softer melt.

Butter

Olive oil: Use 12 g olive oil for a lighter pan fat with less dairy richness.

Salt

Parmesan: Use extra Parmesan only when reducing added salt and keeping a cheesy profile.
