Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup chili (canned or homemade)
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the milk (if using), salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 3

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, until they start to set around the edges.

Step 4

Using a spatula, gently pull the edges of the eggs toward the center, allowing any uncooked egg to flow to the edges of the pan. Repeat until most of the egg is set but still slightly runny on top.

Step 5

Spoon the chili onto one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chili.

Step 6

Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press down gently to seal.

Step 7

Cook for another minute to allow the cheese to melt and the chili to warm through.

Step 8

Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy Dad’s hearty chili cheese omelet!
