Whether you’re in the mood for a quick breakfast or a lazy weekend brunch, this Cheese Omelette is a go-to recipe that never disappoints.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this delightful dish in under 10 minutes. Plus, it’s versatile! Throw in some veggies, herbs, or even extra cheese (because why not?) to customise it to your taste. Let’s dive into this egg-cellent recipe!
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 3 large Eggoz eggs
- 2 tbsp milk (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Fresh herbs
Let’s Get Cooking:
1. Whisk the Eggs
Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk if you're going for extra fluffy (and trust me, you want that fluff). Whisk it all together until the eggs are smooth and slightly frothy. Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper to bring out that savoury flavour.
2. Heat the Pan
Grab your favourite non-stick frying pan and melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. You’ll want that butter sizzling but not browning. The goal here is to prevent sticking while adding rich flavour.
3. Pour & Cook
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit for a few seconds. The edges will start to set while the center remains soft. Gently move the edges with a spatula to let the uncooked egg flow around.
4. Time to Get Cheesy!
Once the eggs are mostly set but still a little runny on top, sprinkle your shredded cheese over one half of the omelette. You can also add your favourite fillings, like sautéed onions or fresh spinach, to make it a meal.
5. Fold & Finish
Carefully fold the omelette in half over the cheese and fillings. Cook for another 30 seconds to a minute, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelette to fully set. You want it soft, fluffy, and perfectly golden.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs if you're feeling fancy, and dig in! Serve it alongside toast, hash browns, or even a simple salad for a balanced meal.
