Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional for extra fluff)

Instructions

Notes spread the eggs evenly.
- Once the eggs start to set, gently push the edges toward the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- When the top is mostly set, sprinkle your fillings (cheese, veggies, etc.) on one half of the omelet.
- Fold the other half over the fillings and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with herbs, and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, whisk the eggs vigorously, incorporating air.
- Add fillings only when the omelet is almost set so they don’t make the omelet soggy.
- Use a non-stick pan for the best results
