Ingredients:
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or water (optional, for extra fluffiness)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
1 teaspoon butter or oil
Optional fillings: grated cheese, chopped vegetables, cooked meats, or fresh herbs
Directions:
Prepare the eggs:
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk or water if desired, along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Beat the mixture with a fork or whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the pan:
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Allow it to melt and evenly coat the pan’s surface.
Cook the omelet:
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
Cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Add fillings:
Sprinkle your desired fillings over one half of the omelet. Avoid overloading to ensure the omelet folds easily.
Fold and finish:
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half to cover the fillings. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the fillings are warm.
Serve:
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Enjoy your omelet warm, paired with toast, fresh fruit, or a side salad for a complete meal.
Storage: If you have leftovers, allow the omelet to cool before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying out.
