Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 cups deli ham
• 0.25 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, coating the bottom of the pan evenly.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Swirl the pan gently to spread the mixture into an even layer.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Sprinkle the diced ham and then the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.

Step 6

Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the filling to form a semi-circle.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, gently pressing down with the spatula to help the cheese melt and the omelet cook through.

Step 8

Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
