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!
