- As the eggs start to set, use a spatula to gently draw the mixture from the edges to the centre, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the sides.
- When the omelette is almost set but still a little soft on top, sprinkle over half the grated cheese. Let it sit for another minute so the cheese begins to melt.40 Grams Grated cheese

Notes
Tips and Tricks
- Fluffy texture tip: The splash of milk helps create steam, which gives your omelette a lighter texture.
- Switch it up: Use your favourite herbs or cheeses, try dill, basil, feta, or even blue cheese.
- Avoid overcooking: Take it off the heat when it’s still a little soft; it’ll finish cooking on the plate.
- Serving idea: Pair with crusty bread, avocado slices, or a simple green salad for a wholesome meal.
