Ingredients
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Sweet corn
- 1 cup, cooked (fresh or frozen)
- Black beans
- 1 cup, canned (rinsed and drained)
- Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
- Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish)
- Sour cream
- 1/4 cup (optional for serving)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with salt and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil coats the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, allowing the edges to set.
- As the omelette begins to firm up, sprinkle the cooked corn, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
- Once cooked, gently slide the omelette onto a plate.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding diced bell peppers or onions to the filling.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with feta or pepper jack for a different taste.
- Serve alongside a fresh fruit salad or whole grain toast for a complete meal.
