Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for the pan
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your cooking workspace by placing a non-stick skillet on the stove.
- Crack the 4 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring no shell fragments are present.
- Pour the 1/4 cup of milk into the eggs and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste, continuing to whisk to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray or add a thin layer of oil, ensuring even coverage over the pan's surface.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour half of the egg mixture into the heated skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle half of the diced bell peppers over one side of the omelet while the eggs are still slightly wet.
- Distribute half of the shredded cheese over the bell peppers, allowing it to begin melting.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top, carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, flipping once to ensure both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Slide the first omelet onto a serving plate and repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and ingredients.
- Serve hot, garnishing with additional herbs or a sprinkle of cheese if desired.
Tips
- Whisk with Purpose: The key to a fluffy omelet is thorough whisking. Beat those eggs and milk until they're completely smooth and slightly frothy.
- Temperature Matters: Use medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. A non-stick skillet is your best friend for perfect omelets.
- Don't Overcrowd: When adding bell peppers and cheese, sprinkle them sparingly to prevent weighing down the eggs.
- The Fold Technique: Wait until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top before folding. This ensures a creamy, not dry, texture.
- Cheese Melting Hack: Sprinkle cheese just before folding to help it melt perfectly without overcooking.
- Experiment with Fillings: While this recipe uses bell peppers, feel free to get creative with ham, spinach, mushrooms, or any other favorite ingredients!
