Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (optional, e.g., parsley or chives)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until well-combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around until fully melted and the skillet is evenly coated.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to ensure an even layer.
Let the omelette cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom begins to set but the top is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette. If using fresh herbs, sprinkle them on top of the cheese.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the non-cheese half of the omelette over the cheese-covered half to form a half-moon shape.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the inside to cook through.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs.
