Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup grated cheese (such as feta or cheddar)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and gently coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Once the butter is sizzling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, gently stirring with a spatula to distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface.

Step 4

As the edges begin to set, gently tilt the skillet and lift the cooked edges with the spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Step 5

When the omleta is almost set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over one half and fold the other half over it.

Step 6

Continue cooking for another minute until the cheese starts to melt and the omleta reaches your desired doneness.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and carefully slide the omleta onto a large serving plate.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley and chives for a fresh burst of flavor, then serve immediately for the best taste.
