Preparation

Beat together eggs, milk, salt and pepper with fork.

Make one omelet at a time. Heat 8-inch (20 cm) non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp (5 mL) butter. When melted, pour in 1/2 cup (125 mL) egg mixture.

As eggs begin to set at the edges, use a spatula to gently push cooked portions to the centre, tilting the skillet to allow the uncooked egg to flow into the empty spaces.

When egg is almost set on surface but still looks moist, fill half of omelet with vegetables and sprinkle with 2 tbsp (30 mL) cheese. Slip spatula under unfilled side, fold over filling and slide onto serving plate.

Tips

Suggestion for complete meal: Serve with a pear, whole wheat toast and milk.
