Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 medium red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium green bell pepper
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the red and green bell peppers. Cut them in half, remove the seeds, and dice them into small pieces.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the half-and-half cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly bubbly.

Step 3

Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, coating the bottom of the skillet evenly.

Step 4

Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they become slightly tender.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed bell peppers in the skillet.

Step 6

Let the eggs cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Step 7

Once the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.

Step 8

Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese-covered side. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.

Step 9

Gently slide the omelette onto a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb meal.
