Ingredients
For the omelette
- 3 eggs
- Salt
For cooking
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter cold
Option 1: Boursin cheese filling
- 50 g Boursin cheese in a piping bag
Option 2: Boursin cheese replacement (mix and place in a piping bag)
- 50 g cream cheese at room temperature

- ⅛ tsp dried parsley
- Pepper

- Crushed sour cream and onion potato chips
- Chives chopped
Instructions
For the omelette
- Place a fine mesh sieve/colander over a medium bowl. Crack the eggs open on the sieve.
- Use a fork to mix the eggs as they pass through the mesh. Don't add the bits of egg white that don't go through.
- Add salt to the eggs and mix.
- Preheat a nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Add a tablespoon of butter and spread it using a rubber spatula.
- Add the eggs at the centre and use the rubber spatula to scramble the eggs in circular motions. Once the scrambled eggs are starting to set, flatten them out in an even layer.
For the Boursin cheese filling
- After 1-2 minutes when the base has set but the top is still moist, pipe the cheese along the centre of the omelette.
- As soon as you piped the cheese, use the spatula to separate the edges of the omelette and roll it. As time goes by, the cheese melts, making it more difficult to roll, so be quick. Finally, roll it onto the dish with the seam underneath.
- Use another bit of butter to butter the outside of the omelette.
For finishing
- Finish with crushed potato chips and chopped chives.
