    Traditional French three fold omelet
    Traditional French three fold omelet

    Ingredients

    2 eggs
    whole butter to taste
    2 tablespoons grated fontina cheese
    kosher salt

    Directions

    Whip two eggs in metal bowl. Add to room temperature, seven inch Teflon non-stick sauté pan. Cook over low heat. Add clarified butter (whole butter that's heated with solids skimmed off) to taste. Run a rubber spatula around the perimeter, pouring small amounts of excess egg material underneath. When the eggs reach medium rare, add cheese and salt to taste.

    Briefly place pan in oven broiler to melt ingredients. (Note: Middle of omelet should remain soft.)

    If the eggs are sticking, tap the pan lightly.

    Roll the omelet off the pan. A sliced avocado makes a nice garnish.

    The finished omelet should be thin and resemble a crepe.

    Serves 1.
