Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup cooked chili beans
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is light and frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to ensure the eggs cover the bottom evenly.
Let the eggs cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set, but the center is still slightly runny.
Spoon the cooked chili beans evenly over one half of the omelet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili beans.
If desired, add chopped green onions and a drizzle of hot sauce over the cheese and beans for an extra kick of flavor.
Use a spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the filling.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional green onions if desired, and serve immediately.
