Low heat and constant motion make it tender. Keep the eggs moving with a spatula over gentle heat so they set into small soft curds, then stop, add the cheese, and fold while the top is still a little wet — it finishes cooking off the heat and stays creamy, never browned or rubbery.

Can you make Cheese Omelette in an air fryer? — Not really
Not really — loose batter spreads and needs a flat, hot surface. Keep this one on the stovetop or griddle.
Can you freeze Cheese Omelette? — Yes
Yes — cool it, portion into airtight containers, and freeze; thaw in the fridge and reheat.
Can you make Cheese Omelette ahead of time? — Partly
The components hold — prep the parts ahead and finish it close to serving for the best texture.
Is Cheese Omelette gluten-free? — Yes
Yes — nothing in this recipe as written contains gluten. As always, glance at the labels on any packaged items (broth, sauces, chocolate), since brands vary.
Is Cheese Omelette vegan? — Vegetarian, not vegan
It’s vegetarian but not vegan as written — it has dairy and egg. Make it vegan: use plant milk, oil, or a vegan cheese for the dairy, and a flax or aquafaba egg for the egg.
