Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, sliced green onions
- 5 pieces, halved cherry tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced bell pepper and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the peppers are softened.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed bell peppers. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Step 4
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the omelette. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and swirl the pan to allow the uncooked eggs from the top to flow underneath.
Step 5
Once the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny, sprinkle the green onions and halved cherry tomatoes over half of the omelette.
Step 6
Carefully fold the omelette in half, covering the side with tomatoes and green onions.
Step 7
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is set to your liking.
Step 8
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately, garnished with extra sliced green onions if desired.
