Add the Cheese
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, place 2 slices of American cheese on one half of the omelet.

Fold the Omelet
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half over the cheese. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelet to finish cooking.
