I normally make this omelette for breakfast on the weekends. It's very thick with a lovely crispy texture on the bottom and the top is a smooth delicious sweet egg and cheese mixture.

Steps

15 mins

1

Dice the onions and peppers finely.
2

Melt butter on a *small* pan, and add the chopped vegetables. Leave cook on a medium-to-high heat until the veg has become soft (a few mins).
3

Meanwhile, beat the eggs until uniform in colour and texture. Then add stir the milk to the egg mixture.
4

Once the onions and peppers have softened, add the egg mixture to the pan and let cook at a medium temperature for approx 8 mins (or until the eggs are cooked to your preference).
Since the omelette is thick, I normally cover the pan with a heavy plate to keep the heat in. While cooking, I often cut the omelette into two semi-circles with a spatula in order to expose the runnier mixture to the pan - this cooks the whole thing faster without burning the base!

Once the food is cooked, grate some cheese on top to taste and serve.
