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.
