Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.5 whole bell pepper
- 0.25 whole onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients: finely chop the bell pepper and onion, and grate the cheddar cheese if not pre-grated.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and fragrant. Remove the sautéed vegetables from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture, and let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until it begins to set around the edges.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cooked vegetables evenly over one half of the omelet. Add the grated cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables.
Step 6
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press gently to seal and let it cook for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
Step 7
Slide the omelet onto a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your delicious low-carb classic egg omelet!
