This simple goat cheese omelet has few ingredients, but tons of flavor. You can use a flavored goat cheese such as garlic & herb, truffle, or tomato basil for an even greater flavor explosion.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon water
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chives
- 2 ounces goat cheese , crumbled
Instructions
-
1
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, water, salt, and pepper until yolks and whites are completely combined and eggs are light and frothy, about 30 seconds.
-
2
Melt butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour eggs into skillet and stir rapidly for 20 to 30 seconds until eggs are just starting to set. Spread top of eggs in an even layer and let cook until just slightly underdone and shiny. If necessary, move extra raw egg around to the edges of the skillet. Lower heat to medium-low to prevent browning, if necessary.

Top middle of omelet with goat cheese and about 2 teaspoons of the chives. Fold one side over the cheese in the middle, followed by the other side, so the omelet is folded in thirds. Remove to a plate and sprinkle with remaining chives.

Chef John's Corn Tortillas
Chef John's corn tortillas recipe features my technique for making excellent corn tortillas every time! It takes some practice to master, but even the lousiest homemade corn tortilla is better than those cardboard store-bought ones. Make sure to let the dough rest so that it puffs up nicely while cooking.
Plantain Corn Muffins
This plantain corn muffins recipe is one I came up with when I needed to use the last two overripe plantains in my fruit bowl.
Quick and Easy Shrimp Fajitas
This is a twist on a classic recipe using shrimp instead of beef or chicken. I use regular old taco seasoning to make it easier, but any seasoning combination for fajitas will work. Serve with refried beans and Spanish rice to make an easy meal!
