Country Style Vegetable Omelet

Its always nice to wake up with a fresh omelet in the morning, here is a classic recipe for a Country Style Vegetable Omelet that you can quickly make in the morning that will keep you from going hungry during the day.

Ingredients:

• Green Bell Pepper
• Small Onion
• 16oz Can of Diced Tomatoes
• 1-2 Slices of American Cheese
• 3 Eggs
• Splash of Milk
• Salt & Pepper to Taste
• 1/2 Tablespoon of butter

Directions:

1. Heat a skillet on medium heat
2. While the skillet heats up, dice the onion, pepper, and tomato’s into three separate bowls.
3. Once the skillet is warm, melt the 1/2 tablespoon of butter, be sure to use a spatula to move the butter around the skillet and grease the sides of the pan.
4. Break the three eggs into a bowl and add a splash of milk (about 2 tablespoons) this will make the omelet light and fluffy. Salt & Pepper to taste.
5. Mix the eggs and milk together with a whisk or fork until a smooth and even consistency. (I prefer the fork its easier to clean!)
6. Once the butter is bubbling in the skillet, add the egg mixture to the pan and let it cook for a few minutes until it starts to harden.
7. Use the spatula to loosen the edges of the egg away from the pan, but be careful not to break the omelet.
8.  Add the onion and pepper (Tomato’s too if you desire!) to the middle of the omelet by sprinkling it on top before it cooks through.
9. Lay the American cheese on top of the filling, melt it slightly.
10. When the cheese is half melted, use a spatula to flip one side of the omelet over top of the filling, allow it to cook a little longer until the cheese melts and binds everything together.
11. If desired, you can flip the omelet over and cook briefly on the other side to make sure it is well done.
12. Serve with Toast Points.
