Method

Preparation of Base Ingredients

  1. 1

    Whisk Eggs

    In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter to grease the pan lightly.

Cooking the Omelet

  1. 3

    Pour the Egg Mixture

    Once the pan is hot, pour in the whisked egg mixture. Allow it to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.

  2. 4

    Add Desired Fillings

    Sprinkle your choice of cheese, vegetables, proteins, and herbs over half of the omelet. Make sure not to overfill to prevent spilling.

  3. 5

    Fold the Omelet

    Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half over the fillings. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional herbs or spices.
