Ingredients
- 151g Egg
- 34g Cheddar cheese
Method
- 1Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl and whisk together until well combined, about 1 minute. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- 2Heat a non-stick skillet or omelette pan over medium heat. If no cooking spray is available, add a small amount of butter or oil to lightly coat the pan and heat for 30-45 seconds until hot.
- 3Pour the beaten egg mixture into the hot pan. Let it cook undisturbed for 15-20 seconds until the bottom begins to set.
- 4Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan so uncooked egg flows to the edges. Repeat 2-3 times over 1-2 minutes until most of the egg is set but the top is still slightly wet.
- 5When the omelette is mostly cooked, sprinkle 2 slices of shredded cheddar cheese (about 34g total) over one half of the omelette.
- 6Add fresh herbs (fresh chives, parsley, or dill) to taste—about 1-2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs over the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- 7Fold the omelette in half using your spatula, bringing the cheese and herb side over. Let cook for another 15-20 seconds.
- 8Slide onto a plate and serve immediately while hot.
