INGREDIENTS
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (button or cremini mushrooms work well)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (use a mix of colors for added visual appeal)
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
- Fresh herbs (such as chopped parsley or chives) for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or water until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add half of the butter or oil to the skillet and let it melt.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté them until they are tender and lightly browned. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter or oil and let it melt.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté them until they are softened.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, making sure they cover the entire surface evenly.
Let the eggs cook for a few minutes until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the sautéed mushrooms and shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
Continue cooking the omelette for another minute or until the cheese has melted.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
Serve the omelette hot with toast or your favorite breakfast sides.
TIPS
You can customize this omelette by adding other vegetables or ingredients like onions, tomatoes, spinach, or cooked ham.
For a creamier omelette, you can add a splash of milk or cream to the beaten eggs before cooking.
Be gentle when folding the omelette to avoid any breakage or spillage.
