Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl.
- Add a pinch of salt and black pepper if desired.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Beat the eggs with a whisk or a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the preheated skillet.
- Let it cook undisturbed for a few moments until the edges start to set.
- Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow out to the edges.
- Continue this process until the eggs are mostly set but still a bit runny on top.
- Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the omelette in half using the spatula, covering the cheese.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked but still tender.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate.
- Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of toast or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Shred the cheddar cheese finely to ensure it melts evenly throughout the omelette.
- Preheat the pan before adding the oil to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Cook the omelette on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and achieve a fluffy texture.
- Fold the omelette gently to prevent it from breaking and to retain a nice shape.
