# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Crack eggs into mixing bowl. Add milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy.
02 - Melt butter in nonstick skillet over medium heat until bubbling but not browned. Tilt skillet to coat bottom evenly.
03 - Pour egg mixture into skillet, tilting to spread evenly. Let cook undisturbed for 1 minute until edges just begin to set.
04 - Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over eggs. Add desired optional fillings such as ham, bell pepper, spinach, or mushrooms.
05 - Gently lift edges with spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook 1-2 minutes longer until nearly set but still slightly creamy on top.
06 - Fold omelet in half and cook 30 seconds more. Slide onto plate, garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
