Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Heat the Pan

Step 3: Cook the Omelet
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan, tilting it slightly to spread evenly.
- Allow the eggs to set for about 2-3 minutes, occasionally lifting the edges to let uncooked egg flow underneath.

- Fold the omelet in half to cover the cheese and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Step 5: Serve
