Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, etc.)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at room temperature.
- Crack the two large eggs into a medium mixing bowl, add milk, and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined with no visible egg white streaks.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper, whisking gently to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Prepare your non-stick skillet by heating it over medium heat and lightly coating with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture into the heated skillet, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage across the bottom.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is set and the top is still slightly wet.
- Sprinkle the diced vegetables and shredded cheese over one half of the omelet.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the vegetable and cheese side.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts and the vegetables are warmed through.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always use eggs at room temperature for a smoother, more even cooking process.
- Whisking Technique: Whisk your eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which creates a lighter, fluffier omelet.
- Pan Preparation: Use a non-stick skillet and ensure it's properly heated before adding eggs to prevent sticking.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Grate your cheese finely to help it melt more quickly and evenly.
- Vegetable Prep: Dice your vegetables small and uniform to ensure they cook quickly and distribute evenly.
- Don't Overcook: Watch your omelet carefully - the key is a golden bottom and a slightly soft top before folding.
- Customize Your Omelet: Feel free to experiment with different cheese and vegetable combinations to keep things exciting!
