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.
