Ingredient Notes
- You’ll need three fresh eggs, which will provide the base for our omelet.
- To add a flavorful twist, we’ll also need some sautéed vegetables. I used a small onion, chopped cabbage, shredded carrots, and bell peppers for this recipe.
- As for the cheesy element, you can use your favorite cheese. Mozzarella is the best choice for this recipe, but feel free to experiment with other varieties such as cheddar or parmesan.
- Lastly, you’ll need butter, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Cooking Tips
– To ensure a fluffy omelet, beat the eggs well until they become frothy before adding the vegetables.
– Don’t rush the process of sautéing the vegetables. Cook them until they turn tender and develop a beautiful caramelized flavor.
How to Store and Serve
The best way to enjoy an omelet is fresh off the stove, but if you have leftovers, fear not! You can keep them in the refrigerator for up to two days in an airtight container. Simply reheat the omelet in a nonstick skillet over low heat until warmed through when ready to serve.
