Ingredients (serve 2):
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 50 gram shredded cheddar cheese
Method:
- Melt one tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place onion and bell pepper inside of the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes stirring occasionally until vegetables are just tender.
- While the vegetables are cooking beat the eggs with the milk, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Shred the cheese into a small bowl and set it aside.
- Remove the vegetables from heat, transfer them to another bowl and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt over them.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter (in the skillet just used to cook the vegetables) over medium heat.
- Coat the skillet with the butter. When the butter is bubbly add the egg mixture and cook the egg for 2 minutes or until the eggs begin to set on the bottom of the pan.
- Gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula to let the uncooked part of the eggs flow toward the edges and cook.
- Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until the center of the omelette starts to look dry.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the omelette and spoon the vegetable mixture into the center of the omelette.
- Using a spatula gently fold one edge of the omelette over the vegetables.
- Let the omelette cook for another two minutes or until the cheese melts to your desired consistency.
- Slide the omelette out of the skillet and onto a plate.
- Cut in half and serve.
