Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 cups deli ham
- 0.25 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, coating the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Swirl the pan gently to spread the mixture into an even layer.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set, but the center is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the diced ham and then the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the filling to form a semi-circle.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, gently pressing down with the spatula to help the cheese melt and the omelet cook through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
