Steps:
- Combine eggs, salt, cayenne, parsley, marjoram, thyme, and white Cheddar cheese in a small bowl and beat with a fork until combined.
- Heat oil in a small, nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and use a rubber spatula to begin scrambling the eggs, moving constantly and scraping the sides of the pan as needed. Reduce heat to low when eggs start to come together. Continue cooking, stirring slowly but constantly, until you have achieved very wet, soft scrambled eggs. Turn off the heat.
- Tilt the pan toward you and push all the eggs together at the bottom edge of the pan. Go around the edges with your spatula, tucking in and smoothing out the edges, as you form the eggs into an omelet that is no longer wet, but still moist. The curve of the pan will help the shaping.
- Turn the heat back to medium to help form a skin on the surface of the omelet, about 15 seconds. Remove from heat and carefully flop over onto a warm plate. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
- TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
- Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
- Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
- Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.
