Servings: 1
Ingredients
2-3 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or water (optional, for fluffiness)
1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
1/4 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, etc.)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter or oil
Optional Additions:
Cooked proteins like ham, bacon, or sausage (chopped)
Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or chives)
Instructions
Prep the Ingredients:
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk (if using), and whisk until combined.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the Vegetables (Optional):
If adding veggies, sauté them in a nonstick skillet with a touch of butter or oil over medium heat until softened. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Omelet:
Add butter or oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-low.
Pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to ensure an even layer.
Add Fillings:
As the eggs set, sprinkle cheese and any desired fillings (veggies, proteins, etc.) onto one half of the omelet.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft on top, use a spatula to fold the omelet in half.
Finish and Serve:
Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until the cheese melts. Slide onto a plate and enjoy warm!
