Ingredients

How to make a cheese omelette step by step
- Preparation: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until well-mixed. Add half of the cheese shreds and stir.
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Let it melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Add the eggs: Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add the beaten eggs to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly to spread the eggs evenly.
- Cook the omelet: Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly golden. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet.
- Add Fillings (optional): If you’re using any fillings like diced vegetables or cooked chicken, sprinkle them evenly over one-half of the omelet.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the fillings or the entire omelet if you’re not using any fillings.
- Fold the Omelette: Once the bottom is set and the cheese begins to melt, use a spatula to fold the omelet in half, covering the fillings and cheese. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the omelet is cooked through.
- Serve: The omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. You can garnish with fresh herbs or additional cheese if desired.
Enjoy your cheesy omelet!
