Kittencal's Fluffy Omelet

Of course you can double this and make it in a large skillet! You can use any favorite cheese you desire, cheddar is good also, I prefer Monterey Jack for omelets! The trick to a fluffy omelet is the baking powder, so do not omit and don't overcook the eggs! --- also see my Kittencal's Fluffiest Scrambled Eggs Show more

Directions

  1. In a small bowl whisk together eggs, baking powder, cream, green onions, salt and pepper until frothy.
  2. Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat until your hands feel warm when held about 2-inches above the surface; add in butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.

  6. Sprinkle the grated cheese down the center of the omelet.
  7. Using the same spatula, gently fold the omelet over the cheese.
  8. Tilt skillet and slide the filled omelet onto a serving plate (don't worry if you tear the eggs slightly!).
