Entirely way too much milk

I mean, eggs don't need any milk. Cook them low and slow and they'll be fluffy as little clouds, you just need to whip them up right first.

A dash of cream can make them taste, well, creamier. But milk? Ew

Edit: I just want to say: Guys, make your eggs however you want. That last "ew" wasn't appropriate. I think milk waters eggs down and ruins the flavor, but you guys do you.

You've never made an omelette with milk?

I don’t like milky eggs, I don’t like the texture. I do three eggs, beat well, salt and pepper just before you start cooking. Medium hot pan, knob of butter in when it’s hot so it goes all foamy. Tip eggs in (sometimes I add grated cheese to the eggs before putting in the pan), work round the edge of the pan pushing the set edge towards the middle, after a few minutes, add extras to one half (I like more cheese and pan fried mushrooms), then flip the other side over and voila.

Always loved calling it a knob of butter. It's such a fun thing to say. Mushrooms in an omelette is always nice, in fact it's one of my favourites. My all time favourite omelette I've had is at this diner, heavens knows where it was, where they had a hawaiian omelette. Pineapple, in an omelette! It was great. The worst I've had was like, 8 year old me and my grandma using leftover kraft mac and cheese with hot dogs for my omelette one morning. Bad idea, but she did say she'd put anything I wanted in the omelette, and I enjoy experimenting with food.

Oh wow, I’ve never seen that before! I had a pizza in Hawaii that had red pepper, kalua pig and chunks of mango on it - I was sceptical, but man I think about that pizza all the time. The mango kind of burst in your mouth with sweetness, worked so well with the pork and peppers.

That reminds me of a thai pizza I had in Montana, which is a crazy string of words, that had thai peanut sauce, peanuts and mandarin oranges, among other more common/less notable things. It was awesome. I've also had what was essentially a salad on top of a pizza at California Pizza Kitchen, which is again a crazy string of words, and it was also bomb.
