The perfect omelette is soft, fluffy, and endlessly customizable with your favorite fillings like cheese, herbs, or vegetables. It’s a quick and satisfying dish that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2–3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp milk or water (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp butter or oil
  • 2–3 tbsp shredded cheese (optional)
  • 2–3 tbsp cooked vegetables, herbs, or meats (optional fillings)

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add salt, pepper, and milk or water if using. Beat with a fork or whisk until fully combined and frothy.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or oil and swirl to coat the pan.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds.
  4. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir the eggs, pushing cooked portions toward the center while tilting the pan to spread the uncooked eggs.
  5. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft on top, stop stirring and let cook another 15–30 seconds.
  6. Add cheese or other desired fillings to one half of the omelette.
  7. Fold the omelette in half with a spatula and cook another 10–15 seconds to warm the filling or melt the cheese.
  8. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.Don’t overcook the omelette—remove from heat while slightly soft for a tender result.Customize with your favorite fillings like mushrooms, herbs, or cooked bacon.Omelettes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days.
