For a smoother filling, whip the cream cheese with a mixer before adding the herbs. Experiment with different herbs! Parsley, chives, or dill all make excellent additions. Don't overcrowd the pan! Making one omelet at a time ensures even cooking and a perfectly tender result. Adjust the amount of cream cheese filling to your preference. A little goes a long way! Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the softened cream cheese and finely chopped cilantro. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepHeat 1 tablespoon of butter in a well-seasoned omelet pan or an 8-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the butter is hot and bubbling, swirling it around the pan to coat the surface evenly. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
03
StepJust before the butter begins to brown, whisk 2 large eggs together until lightly frothy. Pour the eggs into the hot pan and immediately reduce the heat to medium. (Cook time: <1 minute)
04
StepAllow the omelet to cook undisturbed for approximately 10 seconds, or until the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat this process once more to ensure even cooking. (Cook time: 1-2 minutes)
05
StepRemove the pan from the heat. Dab one-quarter of the herbed cream cheese mixture in a line along the center of the omelet. Season lightly with additional salt and pepper. If the omelet is not completely set to your liking, return the pan to medium heat for an additional 30 seconds to finish cooking. (Cook time: <1 minute)
06
StepCarefully slide the omelet from the pan onto a plate, folding it in half to enclose the herbed cream cheese filling. Serve immediately. (Cook time: <1 minute)
07
StepRepeat steps 2-6 to create three more delectable omelets.
