Tuna, cheddar and egg omelet

A Tuna, Cheddar, and Egg Omelet is a protein-packed, nutritious dish that's perfect for any meal of the day. Combining the richness of eggs with the savory taste of tuna and the creamy texture of cheddar cheese, this omelet is not only delicious, but also easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 egg
50g
3 egg whites
100g
1 can canned tuna
160g
1 oz cheddar cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Crack the egg into a mixing bowl.
- Add the 3 egg whites to the bowl with the whole egg.
- Whisk the eggs together until well combined.
2. Heat Pan:
- Place a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up until it shimmers.
3. Cook Eggs:
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, allowing the eggs to set slightly around the edges.
4. Add Tuna:
- Evenly distribute the drained tuna over one half of the omelet.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
5. Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the tuna.
6. Fold Omelet:
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the half with the tuna and cheese.
- Press gently to seal and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.
7. Serve:
- Slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Cut in half if desired and serve immediately.

Tips:

- For a fluffier omelet, whisk the egg and egg whites vigorously to incorporate more air.

- Drain the canned tuna well to avoid excess moisture in the omelet.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking and to make flipping easier.

- Cook the omelet on medium-low heat to ensure even cooking without burning.

- Feel free to add herbs like parsley or chives for an extra layer of flavor.

With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a hearty and satisfying Tuna, Cheddar, and Egg Omelet. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this omelet is a versatile and nutritious option that you'll love. Happy cooking!
