Instructions
Creating a flavorful egg omelette is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Prepare Ingredients: Chop your chosen vegetables and herbs, and grate the cheese. Set them aside.
3. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
4. Add Egg Mixture: Once the pan is hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds to allow the edges to set.
5. Add Fillings: When the edges begin to firm, sprinkle your chopped vegetables and cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
6. Cook Through: Using a spatula, gently lift the edge of the omelette and tilt the pan to let any runny eggs flow to the edges. Cook until the top is slightly set, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Fold Omelette: Carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling, using the spatula.
8. Finish Cooking: Let it cook for an additional minute until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked to your preference.
9. Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
By adhering to these steps, you’ll achieve a perfect egg omelette that is both soft and flavorful.
