★★★★☆

Omelette filled with cheese served on a white ceramic plate with tomato sauce.

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, or choice)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: chopped herbs, diced vegetables, cooked bacon or ham
• Jalapeno Hot Sauce (optional)
• Tomato Sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat well with a fork or whisk until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the pan.
3. Pour the beaten eggs into the hot pan. Cook undisturbed for a few seconds until edges begin to set.
4. Using a spatula, gently push edges toward center, tilting pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to edges. Repeat until no liquid remains on surface.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette. Add optional toppings if desired.
6. Fold the other half over the cheese and toppings, forming a half-moon shape. Press gently to seal.
7. Cook an additional 1–2 minutes until cheese melts and omelette is cooked through but still moist inside. Cook longer if a well-done texture is preferred.
8. Slide omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Garnish with herbs or sauces as desired.
9. For a spicy twist, drizzle Jalapeno Hot Sauce before eating or serve with Tomato Sauce on the side.
