Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup cooked ham, diced
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well-combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling it around the pan to evenly coat the base.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. As the eggs begin to cook, gently stir with a spatula, ensuring that the uncooked eggs flow to the edges of the skillet.
When the eggs are almost set but the surface is still slightly runny, sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Loosen the edges of the omelette with the spatula, and carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling.
Allow the omelette to cook for another minute, until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using. Serve immediately.
