Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 stalk green onion
• 1 optional lemon wedge

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna and set it aside in a small bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork to break it apart.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Chop the green onion and parsley finely and set them aside.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 5

Pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes until the edges start to set.

Step 6

Scatter the flaked tuna evenly over one half of the omelet. Add small dollops of cream cheese on top of the tuna, spacing them out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped parsley and green onion over the cream cheese and tuna.

Step 8

Using a spatula, carefully fold the uncovered half of the omelet over the filled side, creating a semi-circle. Press gently to seal.

Step 9

Let the omelet cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until it is fully set and heated through. Slide it onto a plate.

Step 10

Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve with a lemon wedge for a zing of freshness.
