Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Grate or shred the cheddar cheese if it’s not pre-shredded, and set it aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and vegetable oil to the pan, and swirl to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the edges to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the skillet so the uncooked egg mixture flows underneath. Repeat this process around the edges as needed.
When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on the surface, sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese to create a half-moon shape. Continue cooking for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully set.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic omelette!
