Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp milk, cream, or sour cream 10 mL
  • 1 Tbsp butter divided, 14 g
  • ¼ cup chopped mushrooms 15 g
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped white onion
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped green bell pepper
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar 28 G
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Beat: Whisk together the eggs and dairy until smooth (the egg yolks and whites should be completely mixed together).
  2. Veggies: Melt half of the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and peppers. Cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Egg: Add remaining butter to the pan and allow to melt. Reduce heat to medium/low, then pour eggs over the veggies. Allow the bottom of the eggs to slightly set, 2 to 3 minutes. With a spatula, gently push an edge of the egg up while tilting the pan to allow the liquidy egg on top to flow underneath. Repeat this around the edge of the pan until no liquid is left.
  4. Cheese: When the egg is almost done cooking, sprinkle on the cheese and allow it to melt.
  5. Fold: Fold the omelette in half or into thirds (pro-tip: Slide half of the omelette out of the pan and halfway onto a plate, then fold the remaining half over itself). Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker omelette, use a smaller pan or more eggs!
  • Storage: You can keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
