Ingredients

• 3 pieces eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Step 3

Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs are fully blended and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the butter to the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Let it melt completely, but do not let it brown.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs in an even layer.

Step 7

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.

Step 9

Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set but still fluffy.

Step 11

Slide the omelet onto a plate or gently lift it out of the pan.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
