Ingredients

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and cook until they are softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the river fish fillets to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and easily flake with a fork.
- Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to evenly distribute the eggs.
- Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes until they start to set.
- Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the diced tomatoes, cooked river fish, and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set.
- Slide the omelet onto a serving plate.
