Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole eggs
- 0.5 cup bell pepper (any color, diced)
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Pour the egg mixture over the bell peppers in the skillet, gently swirling the pan to ensure the eggs spread evenly.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese, creating a semi-circle.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, and the omelette is cooked through to your liking.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
