## Ingredients

- 3 large eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 ounce extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 1.5 teaspoons butter
- 1 chives

## Instructions

1. In a bowl, crack three large eggs. Add a pinch of salt and beat them really well with a fork.
2. In a microwave-safe dish, place 1 ounce of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese and microwave at 50% power for 30-60 seconds until melted.
3. In a nonstick skillet, melt 1 1/2 teaspoons of butter over medium heat.
4. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and stir constantly to create small curds.
5. Once about 80% cooked, scrape the sides of the pan to ensure the eggs are nice and clean.
6. Using a spatula, shape the eggs into an even layer.
7. Place a 2-inch wide strip of the pre-melted cheese in the center of the eggs, perpendicular to the skillet handle.
8. Fold the top third of the omelet over the cheese filling.
9. Using an underhand grip, gently slide the omelet onto a plate.
10. Garnish with chives.
