Equipment
Bowl
Whisk
Frying pan and burner
Rubber Spatula
Ingredients
4
large
Eggs
1
tsp
Salted butter
(plus melted butter for brushing the finished omelette)
3
tbsp
Cheddar, Monterey Jack
(or other cheese of your choice)
1
cup
Chopped veggies
(optional)
Instructions
Beat eggs and salt and pepper with a fork in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
Heat butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; when foaming subsides and butter just begins to color, pour in eggs.
Cook until edges begin to set, 2 to 3 seconds, then, with a rubber spatula, stir in a circular motion until slightly thickened, about 10 seconds.
Sprinkle cheese down the center of the omelet, fold over.
Notes
If using veggies, cook them with 1 tbsp of grapeseed oil and add them to the eggs when you add the cheese.
