Herbed Cream Cheese Omelet

01Method

1. 1

   Combine the cream cheese with cilantro in a mixing bowl, then season the mixture with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Place an 8-inch nonstick or well-seasoned omelet pan over medium-high heat and melt one-quarter of the butter, swirling to coat the pan as it foams.

3. 3

   Just as the butter is about to color, beat 2 eggs and add them to the pan, then lower the heat.

4. 4

   After about 10 seconds the eggs will begin to set; use a spatula to push the cooked portion aside so the runny egg flows onto the bare pan surface. Repeat once more, then take the pan off the heat.

5. 5

   Spoon one-quarter of the herbed cream cheese along the center of the omelet and season with salt and pepper. If the eggs are still loose, return the pan to medium heat for about 30 seconds.

6. 6

   Tilt the pan and slide the omelet onto a plate so it folds over the filling as it lands. Repeat the process three more times with the remaining butter, eggs, and filling.
