Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them lightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the milk to the eggs and whisk until well combined.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
  4. Add the bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
  6. Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the skillet.
  7. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, gently moving and folding the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly runny in the center.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the omelet and fold it in half.
  9. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked to your desired consistency.
  10. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.
