Garnished with fresh chives, this savory omelet is both comforting and unique.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Pinch of white pepper (optional)

Cheese Filling

  • 2 tbsp. Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese (half a circle)
  • 1 tsp. water (plus up to 1 tsp. more, if needed)

Butter and Toppings

  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 handful ruffled sour cream & onion potato chips, crushed
  • Sliced chives, for serving

Instructions

  1. Strain and Beat Eggs: Set a medium or large fine-mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Crack the eggs into the strainer and beat with a fork until yolks and whites are uniform. Scrape the bottom of the strainer to ensure no egg is wasted. Add a pinch of kosher salt and briefly whisk to combine.
  2. Prepare Boursin Mixture: In a small bowl, mix Boursin garlic and fine herbs cheese with 1 teaspoon of water, adding up to 1 more teaspoon if needed, until smooth and pipeable. Transfer this mixture to a quart-size resealable bag, pushing it about 1/4 inch from the bottom, and snip the corner for piping.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. When the butter is foamy but not browned, pour in the eggs and season with white pepper if using. Using a rubber spatula or plastic fork, rapidly stir the eggs while shaking the pan. After 1-2 minutes, when eggs resemble a soft scramble, spread them evenly in the pan, scraping down excess on the sides.
  4. Pipe the Boursin Cheese: Remove the pan from heat and pipe a line of the prepared Boursin cheese down the center of the eggs. Alternatively, place dollops of cheese in the center using a spoon.
  5. Fold the Omelet: Slightly tip the skillet away from you. Starting closest to you, fold the eggs over themselves to cover the Boursin filling.
  6. Plate and Garnish: Slide or roll the omelet onto a plate, seam side down. Brush the top with the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter. Sprinkle crushed sour cream & onion potato chips on top, and garnish with sliced chives before serving.

Notes

  • Using a plastic fork or rubber spatula prevents scratching the nonstick skillet.
  • Adjust the water quantity in the Boursin cheese mix to achieve a smooth but not runny consistency suitable for piping.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Boursin cheese with a vegan herb cheese spread and butter with plant-based margarine.
  • If you prefer, you can add extra herbs or seasonings for a personalized flavor twist.
