Method

Preparation: wash the green⁴ onions, dry them; finely chop the greens into pieces about 0.5 cm; heat a skillet with oil over low to medium heat.
In a bowl, whisk eggs¹ with milk², season with salt and pepper to taste until smooth.
Pour the egg-milk² mixture into the hot skillet and spread it evenly over the bottom.
Cook on low to medium heat until the edges begin to set and the bottom part becomes firm.
When the bottom of the omelette is set, sprinkle grated cheese and green⁴ onion; cover and keep on low to medium heat for about 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Remove the lid, fold the omelette in half and transfer to a plate; serve with fresh bread or greens⁴ if desired.

Tips

Why it works: Use low to medium heat to prevent the eggs from browning too quickly before the cheese melts. Overheating makes the omelette rubbery.
Substitutions: Replace green onions with 10g chopped chives or 10g fresh parsley. Use 25g feta instead of hard cheese for a tangier taste.
Common mistakes: If the omelette looks dry or the cheese doesn’t melt, the heat was too high. The edges will brown unevenly before the center sets.
Storing and reheating: Eat fresh or refrigerate for 1 day. Reheat in a dry pan for 1 minute per side to avoid sogginess.
Serve with: Pair with buttered toast and a side of sliced cucumber for a simple, balanced breakfast.
