Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- 1 ounce cheddar cheese, grated (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (e.g., chives, parsley), chopped (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and the milk or cream. Whisk the mixture vigorously with a fork or whisk until the eggs are well combined and slightly frothy.
Prepare the fillings by grating the cheese and chopping any fresh herbs if you are using them. Set them aside.
Place a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling it around the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter stops foaming and is lightly sizzling, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Tilt the pan gently to ensure the eggs cover the base evenly.
As the eggs start to set around the edges, use a spatula to gently push the cooked edges towards the center, tilting the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
Continue this process until the omelette begins to firm up but is still slightly undercooked on top, about 2-3 minutes.
If using, sprinkle the grated cheese and herbs over one half of the omelette. Allow them to warm and melt slightly.
With a spatula, fold the omelette in half over the filling. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to a minute, until fully set but still tender.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious, sugar-free classic omelette!
