Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs are fully blended and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the skillet evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to spread the eggs across the surface.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese to create a half-moon shape.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through but still soft.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your fluffy, cheesy creation!
