Description
A quick and indulgent cheesy omelette made with eggs and your choice of cheese, perfect for a speedy breakfast or light meal.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Crack both eggs into a bowl and whisk briskly until combined and frothy.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, letting it melt and foam without browning.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and tilt the pan to cover the surface evenly.
- As the edges start to set, gently push them toward the center with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
- When the top is mostly set but still glossy, sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Fold the other half over the cheese and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds until the cheese melts.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
Notes
Add herbs, leftover vegetables, or ham for customization. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
