Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp milk, cream, or sour cream (10 mL)
Vegetables
- ¼ cup chopped mushrooms (15 g)
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped white onion
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped green bell pepper
Other
- 1 Tbsp butter (divided, 14 g)
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar (28 g)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Beat: Whisk together the eggs and milk, cream, or sour cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform, ensuring the egg yolks and whites are completely combined.
- Veggies: Melt half of the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, onion, and red and green bell peppers. Sauté the vegetables until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Egg: Add the remaining butter to the pan and let it melt. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom begins to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the eggs and tilt the pan to let the uncooked egg flow underneath. Repeat this process around the pan edges until no liquid egg remains on top.
- Cheese: When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly moist on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the surface. Allow the cheese to melt through the residual heat.
- Fold: Carefully fold the omelette in half or into thirds. For an easier fold, slide half of the omelette out of the pan and halfway onto a plate, then fold the remaining half over itself. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- This recipe takes roughly 5 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to cook, making it a quick and satisfying breakfast option.
- Use a good-quality non-stick or well-seasoned sauté pan to prevent sticking and achieve the best omelette texture.
- Feel free to swap the vegetables or cheese to suit your taste preferences or what you have on hand.
- Fresh herbs like chives or parsley can be added for extra flavor before folding.
