Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup bell pepper (any color, diced)
- 0.25 cup red onion (diced)
- 0.25 cup button mushrooms (sliced)
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced bell pepper, red onion, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly across the skillet, then lower the heat slightly.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half over the cheesy side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the omelette to cook through.
Remove the omelette from the skillet and transfer it to a plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
