Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (optional, e.g., parsley or chives)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Whisk the mixture vigorously until well-combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around until fully melted and the skillet is evenly coated.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to ensure an even layer.

Step 5

Let the omelette cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom begins to set but the top is still slightly runny.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette. If using fresh herbs, sprinkle them on top of the cheese.

Step 7

Using a spatula, carefully fold the non-cheese half of the omelette over the cheese-covered half to form a half-moon shape.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the inside to cook through.

Step 9

Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs.
