Below is the base recipe for an omelette. To make it more interesting, I like to mix it up a little and follow one of these variations. Each variation is topped with a selection of herbs that I sprinkle over the omelette once it’s fully cooked and taken out of the pan. For serving, I like to pair it with sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, or a side salad.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly foamy
Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to spread evenly. Let it cook undisturbed forabout a minute.
Use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat until most of the egg is set but still a little soft on top.
