Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Crack the 2 eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add 1 dash of salt and 1 dash of black pepper to the eggs.
2. Whisk the Eggs:
- Thoroughly beat the eggs with a whisk or fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture becomes slightly frothy.
3. Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and let it heat up for about 1-2 minutes, or until it shimmers but doesn't smoke.
4. Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, ensuring an even layer across the surface.
- Let the eggs cook for about 1-2 minutes without stirring, allowing the bottom to set.
5. Add the Cheese:
- Once the edges of the omelet start to set and the center remains slightly runny, dollop 1 tablespoon of cream cheese onto one half of the omelet.
6. Fold the Omelet:
- Gently fold the omelet in half over the cream cheese using a spatula.
- Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and the cream cheese is warm and softly melted.
7. Serve:
- Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Enjoy your creamy, delicious cheese omelet immediately.

Tips:

- Ensure the olive oil is heated before adding the egg mixture to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

- Beat the eggs thoroughly for a consistent texture and to incorporate air, which will make the omelet fluffier.

- For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or water to the eggs before cooking.

- Cook the omelet over medium heat to avoid overcooking or burning.

- Feel free to add your favorite herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill, to enhance the flavor.
