Ingredients

• 3 whole eggs
• 0.5 cup bell pepper (any color, diced)
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.

Step 3

Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to soften.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture over the bell peppers in the skillet, gently swirling the pan to ensure the eggs spread evenly.

Step 5

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.

Step 7

Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese, creating a semi-circle.

Step 8

Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, and the omelette is cooked through to your liking.

Step 9

Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
