Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon (finely chopped) fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, crack four eggs and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add two tablespoons of whole milk, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh dill, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the eggs. Whisk everything together until well incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 teaspoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes until the bottom starts to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked egg from the top to flow underneath. Repeat this process around the edges of the omelet to ensure even cooking.
Once the top of the omelet is almost set but still slightly creamy, fold it in half using a spatula, creating a semi-circle shape.
Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the omelet is fully set but still soft and fluffy inside.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional dill if desired, and serve immediately.
