Classic cheddar omelette

The classic cheddar omelette is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that combines the creamy richness of cheddar cheese with the well-loved, tender texture of eggs. Perfect for breakfast or a light lunch, this recipe is simple yet satisfying, ideal for both novice and experienced cooks.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1 tsp vegetable oil
4.67g
1 oz cheddar cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- 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.
2. Whisk the Eggs:
- Beat the eggs with a whisk or a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
3. Heat the Skillet:
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
4. Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the preheated skillet.
- Let it cook undisturbed for a few moments until the edges start to set.
5. Shape the Omelette:
- 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.
6. Add the Cheese:
- Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
7. Fold and Finish Cooking:
- 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.
8. Serve:
- 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.

With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, a classic cheddar omelette is a delightful dish that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. Whether you're making it for yourself or serving it to others, this recipe is sure to impress with its perfectly balanced flavors and enjoyable texture. Enjoy your delicious homemade creation!
