Prep/Total Time: 15 min.

Yield: 3 Servings

15 15

Ingredients

1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup, undiluted
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
1 tablespoon butter

Directions

In a small saucepan, cook soup and cream over low heat until warm, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, beat the eggs, salt and pepper; stir in chilies. Melt butter in a 10-in. skillet over medium heat; add egg mixture. As the eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath.
When eggs are completely set, remove from the heat. Fold omelet in half; cut into three wedges. Serve with the cheese sauce. Refrigerate any leftover sauce. Yield: 3 servings.
