A cheese omelette is a classic, quick-to-make breakfast or brunch option that offers rich flavor with minimal ingredients. It is creamy and cheesy, with a fluffy, perfectly cooked egg exterior that encases melted cheese inside. Whether you prefer it plain or want to add extra fillings, like herbs or vegetables, a cheese omelette is a satisfying meal that can be customized to your taste. Serve it with toast, fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.

INSTRUCTIONS:
list of 5 items
1. Beat the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. If you prefer a fluffier omelette, add 2 tablespoons of milk
or water and mix. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring the entire surface of the pan is coated.
3. Cook the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until they start to set around the edges. Use
a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges and cook evenly.
4. Add the cheese: Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft on top, sprinkle the shredded cheese over half of the omelette. Let the cheese
melt slightly, about 30 seconds.
5. Fold and serve: Gently fold the omelette in half, covering the cheese. Let it cook for another minute to fully melt the cheese and ensure the eggs are
fully cooked. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
