Instructions

1

Prepare eggs

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with milk until well combined.

Pro tip: Whisk vigorously to incorporate air for a fluffier omelette.

2

Heat skillet

Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

Pro tip: Ensure the butter coats the entire surface of the pan.

3

Sauté vegetables

Add diced potatoes, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Stir frequently to prevent sticking.

4

Add eggs

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs begin to set.

Pro tip: Do not rush this step; cook on low heat.

5

Add cheese

Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the omelette. Cover and cook until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.

Pro tip: Use a lid to help the cheese melt evenly.

6

Serve

Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut into portions, and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavour.
