- Cook for 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Once ready, flip the omelette and plate it.
- Add any remaining Swiss cheese on top, followed by green onions.

Notes
When adding the heavy cream to the omelette, be sure to gradually add it while whisking. This will allow time to gently incorporate air and make for a very fluffy omelette.
If you are using leftover turkey, be sure to bring it to an internal temperature of 170˚F or just make sure it is fully recooked. It may also get dry so feel free to add more butter to moisten the turkey.
If you notice the turkey is getting dry, add butter to bring moisture back into the turkey pieces. Once ready, remove from the pan and set aside.
If you’re looking to make this omelette a little more filling, try using sweet potatoes! If you’re looking for a little bit more of a pepper-y bite, try adding arugula to your meal.
