Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture until the eggs are fully mixed and there are no streaks of egg whites or yolk.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling it around the pan to coat the entire surface.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the pan. Continue this process until the top of the omelette begins to set but is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Using the spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half, covering the cheese. Let it cook for an additional minute to allow the cheese to melt.
Gently slide the omelette onto a plate, and serve immediately.
