Instructions

Whisk the egg, milk and salt in a bowl with a fork until thoroughly combined.

Melt butter in a 6 or 8-inch omelette pan over medium heat (approximately 30 seconds) making sure it coats the bottom of the pan. As soon as the butter stops bubbling (and before it starts to brown) slowly pour in the egg mixture.

Pour in the egg mixture tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Let the egg firm up a little, and after about ten-seconds shake the pan a bit and use a spatula to gently direct the mixture away from the sides and into the middle. Allow the remaining liquid to then flow into the space left at the sides of the pan.

Continue to cook for another minute or so until the egg mixture holds together. Do not let the underside of the eggs brown.

Sprinkle the top with the shredded cheese and with a spatula; gently fold the omelette in a half moon shape.

Continue to cook another 30 seconds or until the omelette is thoroughly cooked through.

Cool, cut into bite size pieces if servings to kids/toddlers and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter Temperature is Everything 🧈
Use medium-low heat and let butter foam gently before adding eggs—this prevents browning while creating a silky cooking surface for even, delicate texture.
Room Temperature Eggs Cook Better 🥚
Remove eggs from the refrigerator 10 minutes before cooking so they cook evenly and quickly, resulting in a creamier, more tender omelette.
Shred Cheese for Even Melting 🧀
Use freshly shredded cheddar instead of pre-shredded varieties, which contain anti-caking agents that prevent smooth, lump-free melting and incorporation.
The Gentle Fold Technique 🎯
Once eggs are just set around edges but still slightly wet on top, gently push cooked portions toward center while tilting pan—this creates perfect folds without tearing or overworking.
Add Cheese at the Right Moment ⏱️
Sprinkle cheese when the omelette is 80% cooked but still slightly moist on top, giving it just enough time to melt into the eggs without becoming overcooked or greasy.
