Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon (optional) chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it’s well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around the pan until it’s melted and evenly coats the surface.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan as needed to ensure the eggs spread evenly.

Step 4

Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet while tilting the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the edges.

Step 6

Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelet.

Step 7

Fold the omelet in half over the cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set.

Step 8

Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley (if using), and serve immediately.
