Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese (low sodium, optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of milk, and whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Add a pinch of black pepper to the egg mixture. You can also add chopped fresh chives for extra flavor if desired.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, swirling the pan to ensure the bottom is evenly coated.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until it begins to set around the edges.
Gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula, allowing any uncooked egg to flow to the edges of the pan.
If using, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of low sodium cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Once the omelette has mostly cooked through and is firm but still slightly runny on top, fold it in half over the cheese.
Allow the omelette to cook for an additional minute or until the cheese inside melts.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
