CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl with a whisk. Add milk and season with salt and white pepper. Whisk for a few minutes until egg mixture is foamy; beating in air makes the omelette fluffy.
• Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and twirl skillet so bottom is evenly covered with egg. Cook for 1 minute until egg starts to set. Lift edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet so uncooked egg mixture can run towards the bottom of the skillet to set. Repeat until no visible liquid egg remains.
• Carefully flip omelette and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle Emmentaler cheese in one line in the middle of the omelette and fold omelette in half. Cook for 20 seconds, then slide omelette onto plate.

GRILLED PEPPER OMELET

Steps:

• Make sure peppers are nicely seasoned. Stir in chopped herbs if using.
• Break eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Whisk in salt and pepper to taste and milk if desired.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. When oil feels hot when you hold your hand above it, pour eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl pan to distribute eggs evenly over the surface. Shake pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other, to let eggs run underneath during the first minute of cooking.
• As soon as a few layers of egg are set on the bottom, spoon peppers down the middle of the egg "pancake" and sprinkle on Parmesan. Jerk pan quickly away from you then back toward you so the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle, jerk pan again so omelet folds over once more. Cook for up to a minute longer. Tilt pan and roll out onto a plate.
