Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

3 large eggs
¼ cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives), for garnish (optional)
Additional fillings (e.g., sautéed mushrooms, grilled chicken, spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers), if desired

Directions

Beat the Eggs:
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until well-beaten. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the Pan:
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or olive oil and allow it to melt or heat up.
Add the Eggs:
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, swirling the pan to ensure they cover the base evenly. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring.
Add Mozzarella:
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over one half of the omelet while it’s still slightly runny on top.
Optional Fillings:
If desired, add any additional fillings like sautéed mushrooms, grilled chicken, spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers on top of the cheese.
Fold the Omelet:
Once the eggs are nearly set but still soft on top, use a spatula to fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese and fillings.
Cook Further:
Let it cook for another minute to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly and the omelet to fully set.
Plate and Garnish:
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives, if desired.
