Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs are well beaten and the ingredients are fully combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the pan as the butter melts to coat the bottom evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to set and lift slightly with a spatula.
Gently lift one edge of the omelet with a spatula, allowing any uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the cheddar cheese across one half of the omelet.
Using the spatula, fold the omelet in half over the cheese, pressing gently to seal it.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelet to cook through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with fresh chives before serving immediately.
