Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp butter or oil
  • 40 g grated cheddar or mozzarella (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped coriander or spring onion

Method

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk, salt and pepper and whisk for 30 seconds until fully mixed and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat the butter in a non-stick pan on medium-low heat until it melts and foams.
  3. Pour in the eggs and let them set for 20 seconds, then gently drag the edges to the centre, tilting the pan so raw egg runs underneath.
  4. When the top is just a little wet, scatter the cheese, chilli and coriander over one half.
  5. Cook for 30 seconds more until the cheese starts to melt and the egg is set through.
  6. Fold the empty half over the filling, slide onto a plate and serve hot.
Good to know: Keep the heat medium-low for a soft omelette. High heat makes it brown and rubbery.
