Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Low sodium cheese
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the skim milk and beat them together with a whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Finely chop the fresh chives and parsley. Set them aside for later use.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and swirl it around the pan to coat evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet, tilting the skillet to distribute the eggs evenly across the surface.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the low sodium cheese over half of the omelette, followed by the chopped chives, parsley, and black pepper.
Using a spatula, gently lift the other half of the omelette and fold it over the filling side.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelette to finish cooking to your preferred doneness.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately for a delightful low sodium breakfast.
