Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup diced Granny Smith apples
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by cracking the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Fold the sour cream into the whisked eggs, ensuring a smooth and creamy mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, gently stirring to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Dice the Granny Smith apples into small, uniform cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a pat of butter and swirl to coat the entire cooking surface, ensuring even distribution.
- Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg and sour cream mixture into the pan, tilting to create an even layer.
- As the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the diced Granny Smith apples across one half of the omelet. Allow the eggs to cook until the bottom is golden and the top is mostly set but still slightly wet.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the apple section of the omelet.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the plain egg side over the apple and cheese side, creating a half-moon shape.
- Cook for an additional 30-45 seconds to ensure the cheese melts and the omelet is fully cooked.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half to create two servings, and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, select fresh Granny Smith apples that are crisp and tart. This will enhance the overall taste of your omelet.
- Whisk Eggs Well: Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are frothy. This incorporates air, making your omelet light and fluffy.
- Control the Heat: Keep your skillet at medium heat to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly. This ensures a tender omelet without burning the bottom.
- Don’t Overcrowd: When adding the apples and cheese, don’t overload one side of the omelet. A little goes a long way, and you want the flavors to shine without overwhelming the eggs.
- Experiment with Cheese: While shredded cheese is delicious, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like goat cheese or feta for a unique flavor profile.
- Serve Immediately: Omelets are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet. Serve your Granny Smith Sour Cream Omelet right away for the ultimate taste experience!
