Classic Omelette Recipe


Serving Size: Serves 1


Estimated Cooking Time: 10 minutes (5 minutes prep, 5 minutes cooking)


Ingredients:


2 large eggs


2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffiness)


Salt and pepper to taste


1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)


1/4 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)


Optional fillings: diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms), cooked ham, bacon, or spinach (about 1/4 cup total)



Instructions:


1. Prepare the Eggs:


In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.




2. Cook the Omelette:


Heat the butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.


Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting it to spread the eggs evenly. Let it cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.




3. Add the Fillings:


Sprinkle the cheese and any additional fillings over one half of the omelette.


Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, use a spatula to fold the omelette in half over the fillings.




4. Finish Cooking:


Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.


Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot.
