- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Servings: 2
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, and tarragon)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy.
- Pour in the egg mixture, swirling to spread it evenly in the skillet.
- As the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the cheese and herbs evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Once the edges are set and the middle is slightly runny, use a spatula to fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese and herbs.
- Cook for another minute to allow the cheese to melt, then carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the flavors of this fresh, herb-infused delight!
Helpful Tips
- You can mix and match the herbs based on your preference or what you have on hand. Basil, dill, or even cilantro can add unique flavors.
- For a creamier texture, use half-and-half instead of milk.
- Begin with a fork to beat the eggs, and switch to a whisk to ensure they are fluffy and well-blended.
- If you’re new to making omelets, use a smaller skillet to keep the omelet thicker and easier to handle.
Storage Instructions
Although omelets are best enjoyed fresh, you can refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick skillet over low heat or in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
