Fluffy Diner-Style Cheese Omelet
"Although this recipe will work with any mixer, a hand-held mixer makes quick work of whipping a small amount of cream. If using a stand mixer in step 1, transfer the whipped cream to a separate bowl, wipe out the mixing bowl, and then beat the eggs in the clean bowl. To integrate the filling into the eggs, add half of the cooked filling to the omelet right before it goes into the oven, then add the remaining half right when the omelet comes out, before folding...."
