Ingredients
Ingredients:
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffiness)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp butter or oil
• ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
• ¼ cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, etc.)
• ¼ cup cooked meat (ham, bacon, or sausage - optional)
• Fresh herbs (parsley or chives for garnish - optional)
Preparation
Instructions:
1. Prepare Ingredients:
• Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
• Dice vegetables and meat if using.
2. Cook the Filling:
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil.
• Sauté the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until tender. If using meat, add it now and cook for another minute.
• Remove the filling from the pan and set aside.
3. Cook the Omelet:
• Add the remaining butter or oil to the pan. Pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to spread them evenly.
• Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
4. Add the Filling:
• Sprinkle cheese over one half of the omelet.
• Add the sautéed vegetables and meat on top of the cheese.
5. Fold and Serve:
• Gently fold the omelet in half using a spatula. Cook for another 30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt.
• Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
6. Enjoy!
• Serve hot with toast, avocado, or a side of fresh fruit.
