Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom.
Once the butter is melted and sizzling or the oil is shimmering, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly.
Let the eggs cook, without stirring, until they start to set around the edges, about 1-2 minutes.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the sides and cook.
When the omelette is almost entirely set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheese and any additional fillings over one half.
Using the spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings.
Let the omelette cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
