Ingredients

• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

As the eggs begin to set, stop stirring and allow the omelet to cook for a few seconds to form a firm bottom.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Using the spatula, carefully fold the unfilled side of the omelet over the cheese-covered side to form a half-moon shape.

Step 7

Gently slide the omelet onto a serving plate, and sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
