1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the ingredients needed for the cheese omelet, including eggs, cheddar cheese, butter, salt, black pepper, and any optional add-ins you wish to include.
2
Prep Optional Add-ins
If using optional ingredients like bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, or spinach, wash and chop them into small pieces.

3
Beat the Eggs
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add salt and black pepper. Use a whisk or fork to beat the eggs until fully combined and slightly frothy.
4
Heat the Pan
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it is fully melted and begins to bubble slightly. Make sure the butter coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
5
Cook the Optional Add-ins
If using optional add-ins, add them to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.
6
Pour the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the melted butter (and the optional add-ins if used). Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
7
Add Cheese
Once the edges are set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
8
Fold the Omelet
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the inside to finish cooking.
9
Serve
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your delicious cheese omelet!
