This fancy folded omelet looks like it came from a brunch café, but it takes just one egg and a few minutes. Melty cheese, fresh herbs, and juicy tomato get tucked into a golden envelope fold. Pair it with lazy egg and green onion pies for a full spread, or keep things simple alongside viennese waffles.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- Grated cheese, to taste
- Fresh herbs, chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
Instructions
- Pour the beaten egg into a skillet.
- Add the herbs and diced tomato.
- When the bottom is set, fold in from both sides like an envelope.
- Sprinkle with cheese and serve hot.
Tips
- Use a small nonstick skillet — it makes the envelope fold effortless and the omelet slides right out.
- The USDA has clear guidance on safe egg cooking temperatures if you want to double-check doneness.
- Don’t overcook: take the omelet off the heat while the top is still slightly glossy for the silkiest texture.
