Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, sliced green onions
- 5 pieces, halved cherry tomatoes
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced bell pepper and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the peppers are softened.
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed bell peppers. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the omelette. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and swirl the pan to allow the uncooked eggs from the top to flow underneath.
Once the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny, sprinkle the green onions and halved cherry tomatoes over half of the omelette.
Carefully fold the omelette in half, covering the side with tomatoes and green onions.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is set to your liking.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately, garnished with extra sliced green onions if desired.
