This classic omelette is soft, fluffy, and incredibly versatile, making it perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick dinner. Made with simple ingredients and customizable fillings like cheese, vegetables, and herbs, it comes together in just minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped vegetables (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk or water along with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  2. Whisk the eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or olive oil.
  4. Once the butter melts, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
  5. Gently move the eggs around with a spatula while tilting the pan so uncooked egg flows underneath.
  6. When the eggs are mostly set, add cheese, vegetables, or herbs to one side if using fillings.
  7. Carefully fold the omelette in half and cook for another minute until the inside is cooked but still soft.
  8. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Whisking the eggs thoroughly helps create a fluffy texture.
  • Cook vegetables before adding them to avoid excess moisture.
  • A nonstick skillet makes folding and serving easier.
  • Cheddar, mozzarella, feta, or goat cheese all work well in this recipe.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy variation.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently to prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery.
