Ingredients
- 8 large400 gEggs
- 2½ tbsp (35 ml)40 gWhole milk
- ¾ cup shredded90 gCheddar cheeseshredded
- 2 medium30 gGreen onionsgreen tops thinly sliced like chives
- 1½ tbsp24 gUnsalted butter
- 4 slices128 gWhole-wheat bread
- 2 cups300 gCherry tomatoeshalved
- ¼ tsp2 gSalt
- ½ tsp1 gBlack pepper
Steps
- Prepare first: shred the cheddar, slice the green onion tops, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Divide the butter into 8 g for the toast and 16 g for the omelets (4 g per omelet).
- Whisk the eggs with the whole milk, the salt and the black pepper until no streaks of white remain.
- Toast the whole-wheat bread, spread it with the 8 g of butter for the toast, and keep it warm.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt one quarter of the omelet butter.
- Pour in one quarter of the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula for 20 seconds, then let it set, tilting the pan so loose egg runs to the edges, until the top is just barely moist.
- Scatter one quarter of the cheddar and one quarter of the green onion over half of the omelet. Cook until the egg reaches 160°F (71°C) and the cheese starts to melt, about 1 minute more.
- Fold the omelet over the filling and slide it onto a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining omelet butter, egg mixture, cheddar and green onion, one quarter at a time, for 3 more omelets.
- Serve each omelet with the buttered toast and the cherry tomatoes on the side.
