• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon butter or cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons cooked vegetables or protein (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until fully combined.

Step 2

Add the milk (if using), salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil, swirling to coat the pan evenly.

Step 4

Once the butter has melted or the oil is shimmering, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

Step 5

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.

Step 6

Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan to let any uncooked egg flow to the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle cheese and any desired cooked vegetables or protein over one half of the partially set omelet.

Step 8

Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the filling.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully set.

Step 10

Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
