Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs are fully blended and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the bottom of the skillet evenly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to spread the eggs across the surface.
Step 5
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Step 7
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese to create a half-moon shape.
Step 8
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through but still soft.
Step 9
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your fluffy, cheesy creation!
