Ingredients

• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon whole milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons grated cheese (optional, such as cheddar or parmesan)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives)

Directions

Step 1

Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another large, clean bowl.

Step 2

Add the milk, salt, and pepper to the egg yolks. Whisk together until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat as they should remain light and airy.

Step 4

Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula to combine them carefully without deflating the mixture.

Step 5

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, swirling it to coat the surface of the pan.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and use the spatula to gently spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes on low heat, or until the bottom of the omelet is golden and the top is mostly set.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle grated cheese and herbs over one half of the omelet.

Step 9

Carefully fold the omelet in half using the spatula. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to a minute, just until the cheese melts, if using.

Step 10

Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your light and fluffy soufflé omelet!
