Ingredients
Eggs
2 (large, whisked)
Milk
1 tablespoon (or water)
Chopped Fresh Chives
1 tablespoon (or other fresh herbs)
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste
Butter
1/2 tablespoon (unsalted)
Swiss Cheese
3 tablespoons (grated)
Cheddar Cheese
2 tablespoons (grated)
Parmesan Cheese
1 tablespoon (grated)
Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with milk (or water), chives, salt, and pepper until well combined and the mixture is light and frothy, ensuring the egg whites are fully incorporated.
2
Heat a nonstick skillet (10-inch) over high heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and bubble without burning.
3
Carefully pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting it to spread the eggs evenly. Allow the edges to set slightly, then use a spatula to gently pull the cooked edges toward the center, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
4
Continue to cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Sprinkle the Swiss, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses over one half of the omelet. Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half over the cheese-filled side.
6
Slide the omelet onto a plate, folding it as you go. Allow it to rest for about 1 minute before serving, letting the residual heat melt the cheese further and enhance the flavors.
