Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Onion
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) Parsley (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk again. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the skillet evenly.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and lightly golden. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the sautéed onions evenly over one half of the omelet. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the onion and cheese side with the plain side.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through but still tender.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
