Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the egg yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter and allow it to melt, spreading it evenly across the pan.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure an even layer.
Step 5
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges set.
Step 6
Gently run a spatula around the edges to prevent sticking and allow uncooked eggs to flow to the pan's edges.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
Step 8
Once the center of the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny, use the spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese.
Step 9
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese melts and the omelet is fully cooked.
Step 10
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped parsley.
Step 11
Serve immediately while hot for best flavor and texture.
