Simple Omelet

Multiply this recipe as needed to fit your needs.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 c. skim milk
  • cooking spray
  • 1/2 c. desired fillings, see below
In a small bowl, combine eggs and milk. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Spray a small skillet with cooking spray and heat over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and pour egg mixture into the pan, making sure that you cover the surface evenly.

Allow the mixture to cook for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes opaque. Add desired fillings to one half of the egg mixture.

Using a spatula lightly coated with cooking spray, carefully lift the "unfilled" section of the omelet and gently place it over the filled half. Cook for 1-2 minutes more or until the filling is heated through and the egg is cooked. Serve immediately.
