How to Make Tuna Omelet With Cream Cheese

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (5 ounce) can tuna in water, drained, with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. Gently mix until combined.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 2 tablespoons milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium heat. Once melted and shimmering, pour in the egg mixture.
  4. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds. Then, gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup finely chopped onion evenly over one half of the omelet.
  6. Spread 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese over the onions.
  7. Top the cream cheese with the tuna mixture.
  8. Fold the omelet in half.
  9. Cover the pan and cook for another minute, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is heated through.
  10. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or dill) and serve immediately.
