Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon butter or cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cooked vegetables or protein (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until fully combined.
Add the milk (if using), salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again until the mixture is smooth.
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Once the butter has melted or the oil is shimmering, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan to let any uncooked egg flow to the edges.
Sprinkle cheese and any desired cooked vegetables or protein over one half of the partially set omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the filling.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
