How to Make an Omelette

Below is a step-by-step guide for making the perfect 2-egg omelette.

Ingredients :

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water, optional
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • toppings as desired

Directions :

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, a splash of milk, and a pinch of salt & pepper. Ensure the yolks are completely incorporated. Set aside.
  • In a 6-inch skillet on medium-low heat, melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette and move the cooked parts away from the edges, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat until the eggs are nearly set, forming an even layer.
  • Once the eggs are almost set, sprinkle with ½ cup cheddar cheese and any other toppings. Cover the skillet, and cook for about 3 minutes until the top sets and cheese melts.
  • Fold the omelette in half and serve immediately.
