Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (optional, chopped) chives
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute it evenly.
As the eggs begin to set, gently lift the edges with a spatula, letting any uncooked egg flow to the edges of the pan.
Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
If using, add the chopped chives on top of the cheese for a burst of flavor.
Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese to create a half-moon shape.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully set but not browned.
Gently slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
