Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing the cooked turkey into small, uniform pieces and halving the cherry tomatoes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste, whisking to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet, allowing them to spread evenly across the bottom of the pan.
- As the eggs begin to set, gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top, sprinkle the diced turkey, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese over one half of the omelet.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the filled side, creating a half-moon shape.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelet to become golden brown.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half to create two servings, and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother, more consistent whisking and better omelet texture.
- Ensure your non-stick skillet is properly heated before adding eggs to prevent sticking.
- Don't overmix your eggs - whisk just until combined for a tender omelet.
- Use pre-cooked turkey to save time, but ensure it's finely diced for even distribution.
- Choose fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best burst of flavor.
- Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning and achieve a golden, fluffy omelet.
- Let the omelet rest for a minute after cooking to help it set and make cutting easier.
