  • 4 eggs
  • 1 dash salt (to taste)
  • 1 dash black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup(s) milk
  • 1 tablespoon(s) parsley, finely chopped

  • 33/100 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoon(s) butter, salted

  • In a mixing bowl beat the eggs with the salt and pepper until foamy, using a large fork or whisk.
  • Beat in the milk, parsley, mint, scallions, and cheese until well blended.
  • Taste for seasoning.

  • Pour in the egg mixture and spread it out evenly.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the edges of the omelet begin to get firm.
