This outside-the-(egg) box recipe calls for grating Parmesan cheese into a skillet before adding whisked eggs so that the cheese forms a crispy exterior layer for an omelet.

Using a single egg is kind of a cool trick, since the cheese layer is almost as thick, and you can really appreciate the crispness even more."
