Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated cheese (such as feta or cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and gently coat the bottom of the pan.
Once the butter is sizzling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, gently stirring with a spatula to distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface.
As the edges begin to set, gently tilt the skillet and lift the cooked edges with the spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
When the omleta is almost set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over one half and fold the other half over it.
Continue cooking for another minute until the cheese starts to melt and the omleta reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the skillet from heat and carefully slide the omleta onto a large serving plate.
Garnish with chopped parsley and chives for a fresh burst of flavor, then serve immediately for the best taste.
