Instructions

  • Mix eggs thyme, pepper and Sel Magique Classic Blend.

  • Heat butter on a flat stovetop griddle over low heat until melted. Very important to use low heat or the eggs will overcook. Use a brush or spoon to spread the melted butter evenly over the griddle. Pour egg mixture slowly, so it sets as you pour. Mixture should set immediately at edges.
  • Add Organic Horizon’s American Cheese to the center of omelette once eggs have set. Add a generous pinch of Sel Magique Classic Blend.
  • Using the top edge of your spatula, cut the omelette down the center vertically dividing in two. Fold the back third of omelette over cheese in the center portion then fold the front third over the center. You can turn off the griddle at this point and let it cook for a minute or two then turn over for another minute.
  • Toss arugula or greens, lemon juice, Sel Magique Classic Blend and Olive Oil in a medium bowl.
  • Serve Immediately with side salad and a pinch of Sel Magique.
