Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon (optional) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it’s well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around the pan until it’s melted and evenly coats the surface.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan as needed to ensure the eggs spread evenly.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet while tilting the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelet.
Fold the omelet in half over the cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley (if using), and serve immediately.
