Finish the Omelet
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. If desired, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and fold the omelet in half. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
