Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cups shredded cheese
- 0.5 cups chopped vegetables (onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, etc.)
- 0.25 cups optional cooked protein (ham, chicken, tofu, etc.)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and whisk the mixture until smooth and slightly frothy.
Prepare your fillings by chopping vegetables or proteins into small, bite-sized pieces if not already done.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl it around the pan until melted and evenly distributed.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the surface of the eggs, followed by the chopped vegetables and optional cooked protein.
Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly soft in the center, carefully fold it in half with the spatula.
Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until fully set to your liking.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.
