Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs are well beaten and the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly.

Step 5

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to set and lift slightly with a spatula.

Step 6

Gently lift one edge of the omelet with a spatula, allowing any uncooked eggs to flow underneath.

Step 7

When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the cheddar cheese across one half of the omelet.

Step 8

Using the spatula, fold the omelet in half over the cheese, pressing gently to seal it.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelet to cook through.

Step 10

Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with fresh chives before serving immediately.
