Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.33 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk again until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to spread it evenly.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set, while the center remains slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the cheese and form a semicircle.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelet is fully cooked through but still tender.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fluffy diner-style cheese omelet!
