Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a medium bowl, crack the 3 large eggs. Add 0.25 tsp of salt and 0.25 tsp of black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet, add 1 tbsp of butter and heat over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and bubbly, but not browned.

  2. 3

    Cook the Eggs

    Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.

  3. 4

    Add the Cheese

    Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded American cheese and 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.

  4. 5

    Fold the Omelet

    Once the eggs are mostly set but the top is still slightly runny, carefully fold the omelet in half over the cheese using a spatula.

  5. 6

    Finish Cooking

    Allow the folded omelet to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Cut in half if desired and serve hot.
