Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons diced vegetables (optional, e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons cooked meat (optional, e.g., ham, bacon, sausage)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
If using optional fillings, prepare them by shredding cheese, dicing vegetables, or cutting meat into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Tilt the skillet to ensure the eggs spread evenly across the surface.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.
If adding fillings, sprinkle them evenly over one-half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half, covering the fillings (if any).
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the omelette is fully cooked and slightly golden on the outside.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.
