Today I am going to show you how to make my personal favorite omelet blend. This melty cheese omelet, as the name would suggest is melting with cheesy goodness. Did I mention, eggs are awesome you can make so many various dishes with them on top of that, eggs are quick.
Ingredients
- 3 Egg (You can remove the yolks, if you want to cut back on fat)
- 3 Cherry tomatoes
- Red Onion
- 3 Slices, American Cheese (You can use reduce fat to cut calories if you want)
- 1 Dash, Cheyenne Powder
- 1 Pinch, Turmeric powder
- 2 Dash, Garlic powder
- 1 1/2 Dash, Paprika powder
- 1 Dash, Sweet Basil Dried
- Black Pepper
- Cooking Spray
(Option to add I go back and forth with this one)
- 1 Dash, Chili powder
For those seeking to understand what a dash, pinch and smidgen means in measurement form: (1)
Cracking Some Eggs
Take out a small bowl crack three eggs into the bowl. Feel free to remove the egg yolks if you would like to cut down on the fat, but I recommend leaving at least one yolk.
Now We Add the Seasonings
Time to add the cheyenne pepper, paprika, turmeric, garlic and sweet basil to the eggs in the bowl. Once you are done grab a fork. You are going to take the fork and whisk the eggs, in turn blending the seasoning.
It’s Dicing Time
Dice the cherry tomatoes up. You slice the onion up to be about the same amount as the cherry tomatoes. I like to do this while I’m cooking the eggs to save on time.
Set Up The Frying Pan
Take out your Red Copper Pan or any frying pan you choose to use, nonstick is preferred. Spray cooking spray on the pan. You want to keep the flame on medium low. At this point you will add the beaten eggs.
Tomatoes and Onions
As the eggs start to solidify this is the time you are going to add the tomatoes and onions to one side of the pan. Give it about another minute.
Cheese and Flip
Lay the slices of cheese evenly across the tomatoes and onion side. Before the flip, you will need to loosen all the edges of the eggs on the pan. Once you have accomplished that you are ready to flip it. Take the side that doesn’t have the cheese slowly raise it up with a spatula. (I personally prefer thicker spatulas for this. Once the egg half it’s up on the spatula you will quickly flip that side on top of the cheese side. Now that it is flipped and looking like an omelet use the spatula to loosen up under the omelet, cover and let it cook for another minute or two so the cheese can melt.
Final Touch
The melty cheese omelet is cooked. Now you might not get the flip part right the first few times, but it will always have the same great taste. The finally sprinkle some black pepper lightly across the top, Enjoy. This is great for those on a keto diet or counting macros.
