Omelet Souffl

Breakfast

Golden brown on the outside, custardy and tender on the inside, this broiled omelet comes together in four ingredients and could not be easier to prepare.

Ingredients

3 large eggs, separated
Pinch of sea salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
1 tbsp chopped chives

Description

Preheat the broiler, position a rack in the center of the oven, and set the broiler to high. In a large bowl, using a whisk or a handheld electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the salt and one-fourth of the beaten egg whites until light and fluffy. Fold the yolk mixture into the remaining beaten whites until no streaks remain.
In an 8-inch ovenproof skillet, melt the butter, over medium heat until the foam subsides. Remove from heat. Scrape the omelet mixture into the skillet and shake gently to evenly distribute the eggs. Sprinkle the cheese all over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Broil the omelet for about 3 - 4 minutes, until lightly browned and very puffy. Use an offset spatula to run along the edges of the skillet to loosen the omelet. Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, folding it in half. Garnish with chives and serve right away.
