Herbed Cream Cheese Omelet

Ingredients

• 4 ounces cream cheese , softened
• 0.5 cups fresh cilantro leaves
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons butter , divided
• 8 large eggs , divided

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix together cream cheese and cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

2. 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.

3. 3

   Just before butter begins to brown, beat 2 eggs and pour into the pan. Reduce heat.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.
