Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.125 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted and sizzling or the oil is shimmering, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly.

Step 4

Let the eggs cook, without stirring, until they start to set around the edges, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the sides and cook.

Step 6

When the omelette is almost entirely set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheese and any additional fillings over one half.

Step 7

Using the spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings.

Step 8

Let the omelette cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.

Step 9

Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
