Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 cup cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped herbs
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly as the butter melts.
Once the butter is fully melted and starting to sizzle, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to set.
Gently tilt the pan and use a spatula to lift the edges of the omelette, allowing any uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
When the surface is just set and still slightly runny, sprinkle cheese and chopped herbs over half of the omelette.
Fold the omelette in half using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 minute to melt the cheese inside.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
