🧀 The Perfect Cheese Omelette – Fluffy, Cheesy & Easy

This omelette is light, gooey, and ready in minutes. Whether you're making a quick breakfast or an easy dinner, this is your go-to cheesy comfort food.

🥄 Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tbsp milk or water
• Salt & freshly ground pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• ¼ cup shredded cheese (Emmentaler, cheddar, or your favorite)

🔪 Instructions

1. Whisk & Season:
   Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is light and slightly frothy—about 1 minute.
2. Melt Butter Gently:
   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt into a thin, foamy layer.
3. Start Cooking:
   Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for a few seconds, then tilt the pan to gently move set edges inward, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
4. Add Cheese:
   Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy on top (~1–2 minutes), sprinkle the cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
5. Fold & Finish:
   Use a spatula to fold the omelette in half over the cheese. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese and set the center.
6. Plate & Serve:
   Slide the omelette onto a plate. Optionally garnish with chopped herbs or a little extra pepper. Serve hot!
