Cheese And Chive Omelet

---

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.

Steps

---

Whisk together the eggs , egg whites , chives , salt and pepper in a bowl.

---

In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat.

---

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

---

Grate cheese over top of eggs and cook a few more minutes until cheese melts.

---

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

---

Turn omelet onto plate and cut in half or thirds.
