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.
