Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tbsp Non-fat milk
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 tbsp Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
- 0.5 cup Vegetables (optional, such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the non-fat milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture until the eggs and milk are fully combined, and the mixture appears slightly frothy.
If you're using vegetables, now is the time to prepare them: Wash, dry, and chop them into small uniform pieces.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with the non-stick cooking spray.
If using vegetables, add them to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened. Remove the vegetables and set them aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure it covers the bottom evenly.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette, allowing any uncooked eggs to flow to the edges, and continue cooking.
When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add the cooked vegetables, if using, and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
Fold the omelette in half carefully using a spatula.
Cook for an additional minute to finish setting the eggs.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
