Lynn's Fluffy Cheese Omelet

3 Eggs
3 T Heavy Cream (Whipping Cream)
1 T Unsalted Butter
Sea Salt (to taste)
Ground Pepper (to taste)
Herbes de Provence (to taste)
1/4 C Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Beat the eggs and cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (approx 2 minutes). Set egg mixture aside.

Heat butter in omelette pan over medium heat until butter just stops foaming. Pour egg mixture into pan. Using a rubber spatula, continuously scrape the bottom of the pan while cooking. Use small, rapid, circular motions. (This causes the cooked egg to loosen from the bottom of the pan, and causes uncooked egg to take its place.) Continue until approx. 75% of the eggs have cooked. There should still be some uncooked (runny) eggs on the top at this stage. Remove omelette pan from burner. Season to taste, using salt, pepper, and herbs. Sprinkle cheese over top of omelette.

Finally, put pan into oven at 450 degrees for approx. 90 seconds--until eggs are firm. Remove from oven (using potholder for the now-hot handle), serve, and enjoy!
