Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of grated cheese
Salt
Pepper
Method:
- Empty the contents of the eggs into a bowl and beat together with a few sprinkles of salt and pepper.
- After these ingredients are well mixed, pour them into a pan and cook them until the eggs are no longer liquid.
- Take the cheese and sprinkle it in a thick, single line down the center of the set eggs.
- Fold both sides of the omelet so the cheese is hidden inside the omelet.
- Flip the omelet so each side is cooked evenly.
- Serve and enjoy!
