About this recipe
Omelettes are my go-to food when I’m too lazy or don’t have time to cook. Alright, maybe not 1001 – yet! But I do have so many variations! Each as delicious as the next! I usually have a mixed salad with my omelettes. And if I’m really hungry, I might even make two.
The first recipe is my absolute favourite because it’s easy and fast. Plus, you can make it with any cheese you have at home! The one in the picture is with mozzarella cheese.
I’ll keep adding new variations to this page. If you want to make sure not to miss them, please sign up for the newsletter at the bottom.
Cheese Omelette
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp dried garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp piri piri hot sauce (optional)
- 50 g grated cheese of your choice, for example, Mozzarella
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pour the oil into a frying pan and turn the heat to medium to high heat.
- Add garlic powder, piri piri and salt to the egg. Beat it beating until everything is well-combined.
- Once the oil has heated up, pour the egg into the pan. If you want a crispy well-done egg, wait until the oil is hot.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the egg before it has set completely. Add as much pepper as you like.
- Once the egg has set enough flip it. Turn the heat off immediately. The pan and your stove are hot enough to fry this side and you avoid burning your cheese.
