Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup cooked ham, diced
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well-combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling it around the pan to evenly coat the base.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. As the eggs begin to cook, gently stir with a spatula, ensuring that the uncooked eggs flow to the edges of the skillet.
Step 4
When the eggs are almost set but the surface is still slightly runny, sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Step 5
Loosen the edges of the omelette with the spatula, and carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling.
Step 6
Allow the omelette to cook for another minute, until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.
Step 7
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using. Serve immediately.
