Instructions
-
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and melt butter.
-
Crack and beat eggs in a bowl until pale yellow.
-
Add milk, salt, and pepper to the eggs, then whisk vigorously to incorporate air.
-
Pour eggs into the hot buttered pan; cook for 1 minute without stirring until the bottom sets.
-
Push edges of the egg towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until no liquid remains.
-
Ensure the egg pancake slides easily; loosen with a spatula if needed.
-
Flip the omelet and cook for a few more seconds until no uncooked egg remains.
-
Add desired fillings in a line across the center of the omelet.
-
Fold one edge of the egg over the filling; cook for about one minute without browning. Optionally, flip to cook the top for 30 seconds.
-
Transfer the omelet to a plate; garnish with herbs if desired.
