Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- ¼ cup diced veggies (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach)
- 2 tablespoons cooked bacon or ham (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or water), salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the filling: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil. Sauté the diced veggies until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the omelette: Add the remaining butter or oil to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to set.
- Add the filling: Sprinkle the sautéed veggies, cheese, and cooked bacon or ham (if using) over one half of the omelette.
- Fold and finish: Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft in the center, carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and enjoy hot.
Notes
- Customize with your favorite fillings, such as tomatoes, avocado, or different types of cheese.
- For a fluffy texture, whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air.
- Serve with toast or a side salad for a complete meal.
