Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the omelet so that it has plenty of room to spread out.
  • Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat before adding the butter or oil. This will help to prevent the omelet from sticking.
  • Beat the eggs and milk together until they are well combined. This will help to create a smooth and fluffy omelet.
  • Add the vegetables and cheese to the egg mixture and stir until they are evenly distributed.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet or griddle and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Then, use a spatula to carefully flip the omelet over and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
  • Fold the omelet in half or roll it up and serve immediately.
