Step 1:

How do you make a fluffy milk and cheese omelet on the stovetop? Start by gathering your ingredients. Use fresh eggs — farm-fresh ones make the tastiest omelet. Any cheese works, as long as it's good quality and made without milk-fat substitutes.
Step 2:

Crack the eggs into a deep bowl and whisk until smooth. There's no need to beat them vigorously — just blend the whites and yolks together.
Step 3:

Pour in the milk and add salt. Go easy on the salt, since the cheese is salty too. Whisk again and let the mixture rest so the salt fully dissolves.
Step 4:

Grate the cheese on the large holes of a box grater. Set some of it aside for serving.
Step 5:

Add the cheese to the beaten eggs and stir to combine.
Step 6:

For any omelet, the key is a good, heavy skillet with a lid — that's what makes it turn out fluffy and keeps the bottom from scorching. Mine is a heavy-bottomed nonstick pan. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet over low heat. You can use oil for frying, but butter makes the omelet much tastier. Pour the egg-and-cheese mixture into the pan.
Step 7:

Cook the omelet over low heat, covered, for about 7 minutes. It will puff up nicely during this time. There should be no wet, unset spots left on the surface.
Step 8:

Transfer the finished omelet to plates and cut it into portions. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top. Enjoy!

The word "omelet" is French. In France, it's said that every true cook simply must know how to make one. There the dish is prepared without water or flour — as in many cuisines around the world — and it's always folded into a roll before serving. Eggs, milk, and a skillet are all you need for a classic omelet. Today an omelet can be a side dish, a main course, a hot or cold appetizer, or even a dessert. The recipe gets endlessly tweaked and refined by adding and swapping ingredients, which is why there are dozens of omelet varieties out there. For some omelet lovers, only an allergy to eggs or milk — both staples of the classic recipe — can curb their appetite. Its simplicity, on the other hand, wins over even people who have never set foot in a kitchen.
How can you tell if an egg is fresh? Crack it into a separate container. First and foremost, there should be no off smell. The white of a fresh egg will be clear and clean. The yolk shouldn't spread — it should be shiny, domed, and uniform.
Always wash eggs before using them, since even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. It's best to use a food-safe wash and a brush.
Since everyone's tolerance for salt, sweetness, bitterness, heat, acidity, and spice is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste! When you're using a seasoning for the first time, keep in mind that some are especially easy to overdo — chili pepper, for example.
