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 (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs are fully blended and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the butter to the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Let it melt completely, but do not let it brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs in an even layer.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set but still fluffy.
Slide the omelet onto a plate or gently lift it out of the pan.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
