FAQ

What’s the difference between an omelet & an omelette?

There’s no difference in the actual omelette, omelette is the modern French spelling, and omelet is the American English spelling. Sometimes I feel fancy & want to spell it the French way. It probably won’t last long.

I don’t have sharp cheddar cheese, can I use another type of cheese?

The sharp cheddar cheese is great in this dish because it’s sharpness pairs nicely with the buttery eggs, but if you don’t have sharp cheddar on hand medium cheddar would be a good alternative. Also, there are a few recipes online with goat cheese instead, that sounds delicious too!
