Easy to customize with your favorite add-ins, this versatile recipe is a must-have for any home cook looking to master an effortless, delicious omelet.
Crack the three eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Beat the mixture with a fork or whisk until the eggs are well combined and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Once the butter is sizzling and slightly golden, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Immediately start gently stirring with a spatula, pulling the cooked parts from the outer edges toward the center.
As the eggs begin to set, stop stirring and allow the omelet to cook for a few seconds to form a firm bottom.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of the omelet surface. Allow it to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the omelet is mostly set but still slightly soft on top.
Using the spatula, carefully fold the unfilled side of the omelet over the cheese-covered side to form a half-moon shape.
Gently slide the omelet onto a serving plate, and sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
