1

Dicing The Chili Pepper And Cheese – Dice the 3 varieties of cheese and Scotch bonnet chili pepper into small pieces.

2

Whisk The Eggs – Crack the 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk until there are no visible streaks of white or yolk. Season with salt and pepper.

3

Heat The Sandwich Press – Melt a tablespoon of butter in a sandwich press or pan over medium heat and pour in the omelet. Spread the diced cheese and chili pepper evenly around the cooking surface. Let the eggs cook until they start to set, about 30 seconds to a minute.

4

Fold The Omelet – Using 2 heat-proof rubber spatulas, carefully fold the green chili omelet over a couple of times, encasing the chilies and cheese. Press down gently to ensure the cheese melts and the omelet is just cooked.

5

Presentation - Serve your green chili omelet with a perfectly toasted croissant and garnish with edible flowers and fresh thyme.
