Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Crumbled blue cheese
- 1 teaspoon Fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter has melted and is slightly foamy, pour in the egg mixture.
As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently push the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the pan.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese to cover it, and let it cook for an additional 30-60 seconds until the cheese is warm and slightly melted.
Remove the omelet from the pan and transfer to a plate.
Garnish with fresh chives, and serve immediately.
