Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fruit jelly or jam (your preferred flavor)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and swirl it around until it melts and coats the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan if needed to distribute the eggs evenly. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to set and lift away from the pan.

Step 4

Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until there is no visible liquid on top of the omelette, but it’s still slightly soft in the center.

Step 5

Spoon the jelly onto one half of the omelette, spreading it thinly but evenly.

Step 6

Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the jelly-filled side to form a half-moon shape. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm the filling.

Step 7

Gently slide the omelette onto a plate. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet touch before serving.
