Ingredients
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Milk or Cream
  • 1 tsp Butter or Oil
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack)
  • 2 tbsp Diced Ham or Cooked Sausage
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Green Onions or Chives
  • Pinch Salt
  • Pinch Black Pepper

Whisking the Eggs

In a bowl, crack the eggs and add milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is light and frothy.

Heating the Pan

Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the egg mixture.

Cooking the Omelet

Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. Let it cook for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set. Gently push the cooked edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Adding Fillings

Sprinkle the shredded cheese, diced ham or sausage, and chopped green onions or chives over one half of the omelet.

Folding and Finishing

Carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the fillings. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through but still moist. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
