Gather Your Ingredients
Before you start making your cheesy omelette, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
- Optional fillings: diced tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, chopped onions, or cooked bacon
Prepare the Eggs
In a bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk the mixture together until well combined and frothy.
Cook the Omelette
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
Pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan, and quickly tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the surface. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Gently lift one edge of the omelette with a spatula and tilt the pan to allow any uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue doing this around the omelette until the top is mostly set, but still slightly runny.
Add the Cheese and Fillings
Sprinkle the shredded cheese and any optional fillings over one-half of the omelette. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid to allow the cheese to melt for a minute or two.
Flip and Fold
Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty side of the omelette over the side with the cheese and fillings. Press gently to seal the omelette and let it cook for another minute to ensure the cheese is perfectly melted.
Serve and Enjoy!
Slide the cheesy omelette onto a plate and garnish it with some fresh herbs, such as chopped chives or parsley. Serve it hot and savor every gooey, cheesy bite.
Now that you have a foolproof recipe, you can confidently make a delicious cheesy omelette anytime you please. Customize it with your favorite fillings or enjoy it as is. Happy breakfasting!
