Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them thoroughly. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk again until well combined.
Grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor. Make sure it is finely grated for an even texture in the omelet.
Chop the parsley finely and set aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl it around the pan to evenly coat the surface.
Add the grated carrot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it softens slightly.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the carrots in the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly to spread the eggs across the surface.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley evenly over the top of the omelet.
Cook the omelet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown. Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges as it cooks.
Once the top is just slightly undercooked, fold the omelet in half or into thirds using a spatula.
Transfer the omelet to a plate and serve immediately. Pair it with toast or a fresh salad for a satisfying meal.
