Classic French Omelet with Cheese

Ingredients

Eggs

3

Whole milk

2 tablespoons

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/8 teaspoon

Butter

2 tablespoons

Cheese (Cheddar, Swiss, Gruyere or your choice)

1/2 cup, shredded

Fillings of your choice (optional, cooked ham, sautéed vegetables, herbs etc.)

1/2 cup

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
2. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it starts to foam but not brown.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds or until the edges start to set.
4. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
5. When the omelet is still slightly runny in the middle, sprinkle the cheese and your choice of fillings over one half of the omelet.
6. Using the spatula, fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings.
7. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it cook for another minute, or until the cheese is melted.
8. Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.
