Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the skillet to coat it evenly with butter.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
4. Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges towards the center of the skillet, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow into the gaps. Continue this process until the omelet is almost set but still slightly runny on top.
5. Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
6. Arrange the tomato slices on top of the cream cheese.
7. Sprinkle the chopped chives over the tomatoes.
8. Fold the other half of the omelet over the filling and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
9. Slide the omelet onto a serving plate and cut it into wedges.
10. Serve hot and enjoy!
