Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small, finely diced jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup, diced red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 1 stalk, thinly sliced green onion
- 0.25 cup, crushed (optional) tortilla chips
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the diced jalapeño pepper and red bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed peppers. Tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs evenly.
As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet and allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over half of the omelet. Add the salsa and green onion on top of the cheese. If using, sprinkle crushed tortilla chips as well.
Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling to create a semicircle. Press down gently to seal.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional salsa or green onion if desired, and serve immediately.
