Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.125 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite melting cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper vigorously until foamy and well combined.
- Warm a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter and swirl until it melts and coats the pan.
- Pour in the eggs. As they begin to set, use a spatula to gently push the curds from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan so uncooked egg flows to the edges.
- When the surface is mostly set but still slightly glossy, sprinkle cheese and chives over one half of the omelette.
- Fold the omelette over the filling. Cook for 0.5 to 1 minute until the cheese melts and the center is just set.
- Slide onto a plate and serve immediately. Garnish with extra chives if desired.
Notes
For an extra fluffy omelette, whisk the eggs until lightly frothy and keep the heat at medium-low. Add fillings sparingly to avoid tearing and overcooking.
