Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 stalk green onion
- 1 optional lemon wedge
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and set it aside in a small bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork to break it apart.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Chop the green onion and parsley finely and set them aside.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes until the edges start to set.
Scatter the flaked tuna evenly over one half of the omelet. Add small dollops of cream cheese on top of the tuna, spacing them out evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and green onion over the cream cheese and tuna.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the uncovered half of the omelet over the filled side, creating a semi-circle. Press gently to seal.
Let the omelet cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until it is fully set and heated through. Slide it onto a plate.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve with a lemon wedge for a zing of freshness.
