  • Yield: 1 omelette 1x

Description

This classic Omelette recipe is fluffy, flavorful, and perfect for a quick, customizable breakfast. Filled with your favorite veggies, meats, and cheese, it’s a nutritious start to your day!


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.
