Ingredients
- Butter
- 1 tablespoon
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Salt
- to taste
- Tomato
- 1 medium, diced
- Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup, shredded
- Eggs
- 3 large
- Fresh herbs (optional)
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (e.g., parsley, chives)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the skillet to ensure the eggs evenly cover the bottom. Let it cook undisturbed for about a minute, or until the edges start to set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and diced tomatoes on one half of the omelet, and add fresh herbs if using.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Feel free to customize your omelet with other fillings such as sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach.
- To make it fluffier, add a splash of milk or cream to the beaten eggs.
