Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the three eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until the mixture is homogeneous and has a consistent color.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 4

Using a spatula, gently pull the cooked edges of the omelette towards the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Repeat this process until there is no more liquid egg visible, but the surface remains soft.

Step 5

Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette. Allow it to cook for another minute to let the cheese melt slightly.

Step 6

Gently fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese using the spatula, forming a semicircle. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute to ensure everything is heated through.

Step 7

Carefully slide the omelette onto a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
