Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in the chopped parsley and chives to evenly distribute the herbs throughout the mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let the butter melt completely and coat the pan, but ensure it doesn’t brown.
Once the skillet is hot, pour the egg mixture into the pan, tilting it slightly to spread the eggs evenly across the surface.
Cook the omelet undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set but the center is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one-half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese to create a half-moon shape.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through but still soft and fluffy.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with extra herbs if desired, and serve hot.
