Omelet Base

Method

Omelet Preparation

  1. 1

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a bowl, crack the 3 eggs and add 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Eggs

    Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Filling and Finishing

  1. 4

    Add the Filling

    Once the edges of the omelet have set, sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1 cup of pico de gallo evenly over one half of the omelet.

  2. 5

    Fold the Omelet

    Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

  3. 6

    Add the Topping

    Sprinkle 1 cup of mixed cheese on top of the folded omelet, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it cook for another minute, until the cheese is melted.

Serving
