Halloumi Omelette is a delicious variant of the traditional French-style omelette. It is an excellent protein-packed breakfast option to start your day. This dish is made with eggs, cold milk, butter, grated halloumi cheese, and salt and pepper. As the omelette cooks, the halloumi cheese melts into the eggs creating a wonderful, creamy texture. The dish is rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. Paired with a slice of toast or side of veggies, Halloumi Omelette is an ideal breakfast for a busy weekday or lazy weekend morning.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, whisk eggs, cold milk, and salt and pepper together.
2.	Heat butter or oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Wait for butter to melt or oil to become hot.
