IHOP's Omelette Du Fromage (Copycat Recipe)

This classic Omelette Du Fromage is a delightful combination of fluffy eggs and rich, melted cheese, reminiscent of the beloved dish served at IHOP. With its simple yet satisfying flavors, this omelette is perfect for breakfast or brunch, providing a comforting start to your day. It's a great option for those seeking a hearty, protein-rich meal that adheres to traditional cooking methods.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (such as Swiss or cheddar)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
3. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly.
4. Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
5. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
6. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese. Cook for an additional minute until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
7. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
