Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or milk alternative
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium cheese, grated (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the bottom to set.
Step 4
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center. Tilt the pan as needed to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
Step 5
Once the eggs are mostly cooked and lightly set, sprinkle the fresh parsley and chives evenly over the surface. If using, add the grated low-sodium cheese at this time.
Step 6
Carefully fold the omelette in half with the spatula. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelette is fully set.
Step 7
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
