Separate your egg yolks and whites into two bowls.
You can either beat your egg white by hand with a whisk (this may take a while) or with a mixer.
You will see the texture change and thicken and form white peaks.
Mix cream cheese and yolks well then gently add the thickened egg whites to the yolks.
Melt butter in a warm pan.
The perfect fluffy omelet, seasoned simply with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Now just brown in the broiler and top with cheese and parsley.
Omelets for dinner?! Oui, oui!
