Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the egg mixture vigorously until fully combined and frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the entire surface evenly as it melts.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook without stirring for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start setting.
Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese side.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelette is golden on the bottom.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
