Equipment
- 1 Non-stick Frying Pan Preferably 8-inch for a single serving omelet
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Small Mixing Bowl
- 1 Rubber Spatula
- 1 Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
Main
- Canola oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon everything seasoning plus more to finish
- 1 ounce cream cheese
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk gently until the yolks and whites are just combined, but not frothy.
- Heat the canola oil in an 8-inch non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat until shimmering.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the hot pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
- Immediately sprinkle 1 tablespoon of everything seasoning over the surface of the eggs.
- As the edges begin to set, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When the top of the omelet is mostly set but still slightly moist, place small dollops of cream cheese on one half of the omelet.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the cream cheese.
- Continue to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cream cheese is softened and warm.
- Slide the omelet onto a serving plate.
- Garnish with a final sprinkle of everything seasoning, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a truly tender and fluffy omelet, cook on medium-low heat. High heat can make the eggs rubbery. Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature; this allows it to melt smoothly into the omelet without clumping, creating a creamy texture. You can lightly warm the cream cheese in a microwave for a few seconds if it's too cold. Don't overmix the eggs; just enough to break up the whites and yolks. The 'everything seasoning' adds a fantastic textural and flavor contrast; don't shy away from finishing with a bit more for a pop of flavor.
