Ingredients:

3 large eggs

2 tbsp butter (or oil for cooking)

¼ cup charcuterie (chopped — prosciutto, salami, or chorizo)

¼ cup shredded cheese (Gruyère, cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

1 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for fluffier texture)

1 tbsp fresh herbs (chopped — parsley, chives, or thyme)

Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep the eggs:
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and milk/cream if using. Whisk until fully blended.

2. Cook the charcuterie:
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped charcuterie and sauté for 1–2 minutes until slightly crisp and fragrant. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the omelette:
Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining butter.
Pour in the beaten eggs and tilt the pan to spread them evenly. Let cook without stirring for 1–2 minutes until the edges set.

4. Add fillings:
Sprinkle the cooked charcuterie evenly over one half of the omelette.
Add shredded cheese and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

5. Fold & finish:
Carefully fold the omelette in half. Cook another 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted inside and the eggs are cooked through but not dry.

6. Serve:
Slide onto a plate and garnish with extra herbs, fresh cracked pepper, and maybe a side of toasted bread or greens.
