Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cup cooked ham, diced
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well-combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling it around the pan to evenly coat the base.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. As the eggs begin to cook, gently stir with a spatula, ensuring that the uncooked eggs flow to the edges of the skillet.

Step 4

When the eggs are almost set but the surface is still slightly runny, sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.

Step 5

Loosen the edges of the omelette with the spatula, and carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling.

Step 6

Allow the omelette to cook for another minute, until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.

Step 7

Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using. Serve immediately.
