Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until no whites remain visible.

  2. Step 2

    Dice the bell pepper, slice the mushrooms 1/4-inch thick, and dice the onion.

  3. Step 3

    Melt 1 tbsp butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foaming, ~1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Add bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion; cook until edges soften and mushrooms release liquid, ~4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer vegetables to a plate. Reduce heat to medium.

  6. Step 6

    Add remaining 1 tbsp butter to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.

  7. Step 7

    Pour beaten eggs into the skillet. Let sit undisturbed for 30 seconds until bottom begins to set.

  8. Step 8

    Using a spatula, gently push cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan so raw egg flows to the edges.

  9. Step 9

    Once the top is mostly set but still slightly wet, ~2 minutes total, scatter cheese and vegetables over one half.

  10. Step 10

    Fold the omelette in half. Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.
