Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
Finely chop the bell pepper and onion.
Beat the Eggs
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until well combined.
Cook the Vegetables
In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the omelet. Let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Fold the Omelet
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half. Allow it to cook for another minute to ensure the inside is fully cooked.
Serve
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. You can garnish with additional bell pepper or herbs if desired. Serve hot.
