I wanted to use up some egg whites, chives and left over cheese I had in the refrigerator so adapted this recipe from Bon Appetit (November 2006)with my changes. The original recipe used whole eggs and cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

2 serv.
  • tablespoons butter2 tablespoon
  • eggs4
  • cup egg white1⁄2 cup
  • tablespoon chopped chives1 -2 tablespoon

    1 -2

  • salt
  • pepper
  • cup grated cheese (I used Monterey Jack but a combination of cheeses or your favorite cheese will work well)1 cup

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, chives, salt and pepper (I used a lot of pepper) in a bowl.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add egg mixture to pan, cooking for a few minutes until almost set, lifting sides so egg mixture can run under.

  4. 4

    Grate (or sprinkle) cheese over top of eggs (I grated it right over the eggs) and cook a few more minutes until cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Fold 1/3 of the omelet over the center and then the other side over the center.

  6. 6

    Turn omelet onto plate and cut in half or thirds.
