Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs separated
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese
  • parsley chopped, for serving
  • avocados diced, for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk and a pinch each of salt and pepper until combined.
  2. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the whites.
  3. In a 10-12 inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook without moving until the top of the egg just begins to set, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add the cheese on one side of the omelette, cover the skillet, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the cheese just begins to melt. Carefully fold over the empty side of the omelet and cook for 1 more minute.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: This recipe is best served as soon as it's made. If you have leftovers, they will keep well in the fridge and can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
  • Tip: Use an electric mixer to bet the egg whites for the best results.
  • Tip: Use a spatula to gently fold (not stir) the egg whites into the yolks.
