🧾 Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley (optional)
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the eggs
First, crack the eggs into a bowl. Then, add the milk, salt, and black pepper. After that, whisk everything together until smooth and slightly frothy.
2. Heat the pan
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, swirl it around to coat the pan evenly.
3. Cook the eggs
Next, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. As the eggs begin to set, gently push the cooked edges toward the center while tilting the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
4. Add the cheese
When the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelet. Then, cook for another minute until the cheese starts to melt.
5. Fold and serve
Finally, fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
