Sometimes the simplest omelets are the ones you crave the most.

This one keeps it to three filling ingredients: sliced Swiss cheese that goes molten and nutty, a cool dollop of sour cream that melts into a tangy sauce, and a scattering of fresh chives for a mild onion bite.

The contrast between warm, gooey cheese and the cool sour cream is what makes every forkful interesting.

Fifteen minutes from pan to plate.

Pro Tips

  • Use a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. A gentle cook gives you a tender, custardy omelet rather than a rubbery one.
  • Add the Swiss cheese first so it has time to start melting before you fold. The sour cream just needs to warm through.
  • Chop the chives right before using them. They lose their punch quickly once cut.
