Ingredients

• 3 pieces eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cups shredded cheese
• 0.5 cups chopped vegetables (onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, etc.)
• 0.25 cups optional cooked protein (ham, chicken, tofu, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.

Step 2

Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and whisk the mixture until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Prepare your fillings by chopping vegetables or proteins into small, bite-sized pieces if not already done.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl it around the pan until melted and evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the surface of the eggs, followed by the chopped vegetables and optional cooked protein.

Step 7

Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Step 8

Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly soft in the center, carefully fold it in half with the spatula.

Step 9

Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until fully set to your liking.

Step 10

Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.
