Herbed Cream Cheese Omelet

Recipe Ingredients

3 oz	85g	Cream cheese - (1 pkg) - at room temperature
1 teaspoon	5ml	Chopped parsley
1 teaspoon	5ml	Minced fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Dried thyme
1 teaspoon	5ml	Chopped fresh basil - optional
4		Eggs
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1 tablespoon	15ml	Butter

Recipe Instructions

In a small bowl, mash crean cheese with parsley, chives, thyme, and basil, if using.

Crack eggs into medium bowl and add salt and pepper. Gently beat eggs with a fork.

In a medium nonstick skillet or omelet pan, melt butter over high heat until foamy. Pour eggs into pan. Reduce heat to medium. Cook lifting edges to let uncooked egg flow underneath, until omelet is nearly set but still moist on top, 45 to 60 seconds. Spoon cream cheese-herb mixture down half of omelet in 6 or 8 dollops.

Fold plain side over cream cheese and cook 30 seconds longer. Slide onto a plate and serve at once.

This recipe yields 2 servings.
