Instructions
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well with a pinch of salt and black pepper until frothy.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly. Cook for about 1 minute until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the crumbled sausage and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through but still tender.
- Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with additional black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
