Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or milk alternative
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the bottom to set.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center. Tilt the pan as needed to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
Once the eggs are mostly cooked and lightly set, sprinkle the fresh parsley and chives evenly over the surface. If using, add the grated low-sodium cheese at this time.
Carefully fold the omelette in half with the spatula. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelette is fully set.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
