omelet recipe

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• Optional fillings: 1/4 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup chopped vegetables (onion, bell pepper, mushrooms), 1-2 slices ham

Instructions

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl.
2. Add milk, salt, and pepper to the eggs. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet.
5. Let the omelet cook for 30-60 seconds, until the edges start to set.
6. Gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center of the skillet, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
7. If adding fillings, sprinkle them over one half of the omelet.
8. Fold the omelet in half using a spatula.
9. Cook for another 30 seconds to heat the filling through.
10. Slide the omelet onto a plate.

Notes

• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking.
• Don't overcook the eggs; they should still be slightly moist.
• For a fluffier omelet, beat the eggs vigorously.
• Pre-chop your fillings to save time.
• Store leftover omelet in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
