how to make soft buttery french-style omelets

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: bacon

Turkey is leaner and lower in calories.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with less fat.

Crack eggs into a bowl and beat until well combined.

Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted.

Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.

Cook the eggs undisturbed until the edges begin to set, about 1-2 minutes.

Gently lift the edges with a spatula, allowing uncooked eggs to flow underneath.

Sprinkle cheese and desired fillings over one half of the omelet.

Fold the other half over the fillings using the spatula.

Cook for another minute until the cheese melts and the omelet is cooked through.

Slide the omelet onto a plate and season with salt and pepper.

Garnish with fresh herbs or additional toppings if desired.
