Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2 omelets
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color, or a mix)
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and diced bell peppers, sautéing until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Pour in half of the egg mixture, swirling the pan to ensure it spreads evenly.
- As the edges begin to set, gently lift them with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg mixture to flow underneath.
- Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the omelet, then add half of the sautéed vegetables.
- Fold the omelet in half and cook for another minute until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second omelet.
Helpful Tips
- For a creamier texture, try adding a tablespoon of cream cheese to the egg mixture.
- You can also experiment with different fillings like crispy turkey bacon, spinach, or diced tomatoes.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or some jalapeño slices to the filling.
Storage Instructions
Omelets are best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store leftovers, allow them to cool completely before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap or placing them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Pairings
This Fluffy American Omelet pairs beautifully with freshly cut fruit, buttered toast, and a glass of cold orange juice. For a more indulgent spread, consider serving with crispy hash browns and a side of turkey sausage.
