Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing the red and green bell peppers. Cut them in half, remove the seeds, and dice them into small pieces.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the half-and-half cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly bubbly.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, coating the bottom of the skillet evenly.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they become slightly tender.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed bell peppers in the skillet.
Let the eggs cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Once the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese-covered side. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.
Gently slide the omelette onto a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb meal.
