Ingredients

• 3 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.33 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk again until smooth.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to spread it evenly.

Step 5

Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set, while the center remains slightly runny.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.

Step 7

Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the cheese and form a semicircle.

Step 8

Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelet is fully cooked through but still tender.

Step 9

Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your fluffy diner-style cheese omelet!
