Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Gruyère cheese (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth and fully combined.
Prepare the cheese by shredding the Gruyère (or your preferred cheese) and set it aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, making sure it evenly coats the pan.
Once the butter is melted and begins to sizzle slightly, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the bottom begins to set.
Gently use a spatula to lift the edges of the omelette, allowing the uncooked egg mixture to flow underneath. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly creamy on top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette. Let it cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the cheese to start melting.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the un-cheesed half of the omelette over the cheesed half to create a half-moon shape.
Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the cheese is fully melted and the omelette is golden on the bottom.
Slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
