• 1/4 cup milk (or non-dairy milk of your choice)

1. 1.Crack the ostrich egg into a large bowl and whisk together with the milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. 2.Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, pour in the egg mixture.
3. 3.Cook the omelette for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottom is set and the top is just slightly runny. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette and allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
4. 4.Once the omelette is mostly set, add your fillings to one side of the omelette. Use the spatula to fold the other side of the omelette over the top of the fillings, creating a half-moon shape.
5. 5.Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the fillings are heated through and the egg is fully set. Use the spatula to carefully slide the omelette onto a large plate, and serve hot.
