Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the egg yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter and allow it to melt, spreading it evenly across the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure an even layer.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges set.
Gently run a spatula around the edges to prevent sticking and allow uncooked eggs to flow to the pan's edges.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
Once the center of the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny, use the spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese melts and the omelet is fully cooked.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately while hot for best flavor and texture.
