Ingredients

• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Onion
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.5 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon (chopped) Parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk again. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the skillet evenly.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and lightly golden. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly.

Step 5

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sautéed onions evenly over one half of the omelet. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the onion and cheese side with the plain side.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through but still tender.

Step 9

Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
