Cream cheese is mixed with herbs and melted in this cream cheese omelet, and it acquires a wonderful taste that you wouldn’t associate with cream cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 8 large eggs, divided
Directions
Step 1
Mix together cream cheese and cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1/4 of the butter in a well-seasoned omelet pan or 8-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When butter is hot and bubbling, swirl it around in the pan.
Step 3
Just before butter begins to brown, beat 2 eggs and pour into the pan. Reduce heat.
Step 4
After 10 seconds or so, omelet will coagulate. Push omelet to one side of the pan with a spoon or spatula to allow raw egg to flow onto the cleared skillet. Repeat this one more time, then remove the skillet from heat.
Step 5
Dab 1/4 of the herbed cream cheese in a line along the middle of omelet. Season with salt and pepper. If omelet has not completely set, place the pan over medium heat for 30 more seconds.
Step 6
Slide omelet from the pan onto a plate, so it rolls up, enclosing herbed cream cheese filling. Make 3 more omelets the same way.
