A quick and customizable dish perfect for any meal, this classic omelette is fluffy, flavorful, and packed with your choice of cheese, vegetables, meats, or herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 eggs
- 1–2 tbsp milk (optional, adds creaminess)
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1/4 cup chopped vegetables (such as onions, bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes)
- 2–3 tbsp mushrooms or cooked meats (like ham or bacon)
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk, and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting it to spread evenly.
- As the edges start to set, gently push them toward the center with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
- When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add your desired fillings over one half.
- Carefully fold the other half over the fillings and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add chili flakes or hot sauce for heat.
- Use feta, goat cheese, or cream cheese for variety.
- Try smoked salmon or sausage for extra protein.
- Mediterranean twist: olives, tomatoes, herbs.
- For a sweet version, add sugar and fresh fruit.
