Instructions:
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack 5 eggs.

- Pour in 1/2 cup of milk (1% fat).
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly until well combined and the cream cheese is fully incorporated.

- Once the butter has melted and is slightly foamy, pour in half of the egg mixture.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they start to set.
- Gently lift the edges with a spatula, allowing any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Continue to cook until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
- Sprinkle half of the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the omelette.
- Fold the omelette in half using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the inside is fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the omelette from the skillet and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then add the remaining teaspoon of butter.
- Repeat the cooking process with the rest of the egg mixture and remaining parmesan cheese to make the second omelette.
- Serve the herb omelettes hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overbeat the eggs, as it can make the omelette tough.
- Ensure the pan is well-heated before adding the egg mixture to prevent sticking.
- Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning the eggs and to ensure an evenly cooked omelette.
- Fold the omelette gently to avoid breaking it.
- Feel free to add more herbs or other ingredients like spinach or mushrooms for additional flavor and nutrition.
