- Title: French Omelette with Melted Cheese and Croutons
- Categories: Barry, Cheese/eggs
- Yield: 1 servings
-
- 3 Eggs
- Walnut sized piece of butter
- 1 oz Grated Gruyere or Cheddar
- -cheese
-
- MMMMM----------------------FOR THE CROUTONS---------------------------
- 1/2 Slice White Bread
- 1 tb Oil
-
- French omelettes are quite thick, so the size of the pan is
- important, for a 3 egg omelette you need a 5-inch frying pan,
- 10-inches for a 6 egg omelette and so on.
-
- Cut the bread into small squares of about half to quarter of an inch.
- Fry them in oil gently and remove from the pan as soon as they turn
- golden. Wipe the pan out and put in the butter.
-
- In a bowl lightly beat the three eggs. Heat the butter until it
- hisses. The moment it stops hissing pour in the three beaten eggs and
- with the back of a fork, scramble them in the hot butter for about a
- minute until all the egg is cooked.
-
- When it looks sort of soft scrambled addd the cheese, sprinkle over
- the croutons and season.
-
- While the middle is still a little moist, fold it with a palette
- knife or fork and tip it onto a warm plate.
-
- The omelette will go on cooking for another 35 seconds to a minute
- after you have taken it out so unless you like eggy shoe leather,
- take it out of the pan just before it is cooked.
-
- It is a wonderful omelette, slightly soft in the middle, crunchy and
- cheesy.

- MMMMM
