Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced vegetables (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, beat 3 large eggs with 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until the edges start to set.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- If using, sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese and 1/4 cup of diced vegetables over one half of the omelette.
- Fold the other half of the omelette over the filling using the spatula, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, and serve hot with toast or a side of fresh fruit. Enjoy!
