Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or soy)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the unsweetened plant-based milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Whisk again until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is evenly distributed across the surface of the pan.
Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly to create a thin layer.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the middle is mostly cooked but still slightly soft.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half or roll it if desired. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, ensuring the inside is fully set.
Transfer the cooked omelette to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the second half of the egg mixture to make the second omelette.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
