Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small (finely chopped) Fresh red chili
- 0.5 medium (diced) Green bell pepper
- 0.5 medium (finely chopped) Onion
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional) Fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and fresh red chili to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly over the pan.
As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges to let uncooked eggs flow underneath.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese, and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese completely.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your spicy and delicious Chili Omelet!
