Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs (optional, e.g., parsley or chives)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds until it is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter, letting it melt and coat the pan.
Once the butter is sizzling but not browned, pour in the egg mixture.
Immediately use a spatula to gently stir the eggs in small circular motions while simultaneously shaking the pan back and forth to keep the mixture even.
After about 20 seconds, stop stirring and let the omelet set for another 10–15 seconds, just until the bottom is firm but the top remains slightly runny.
If desired, sprinkle grated cheese and herbs over one side of the omelet.
Fold the omelet in half with the spatula and slide it onto a plate.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your fluffy, perfectly cooked omelet!
