Ingredients
Eggs
2 (beaten)
Water
2 tablespoons (none)
Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon (optional)
Salt
to taste (none)
Pepper
to taste (none)
Vegetable oil
1 teaspoon (for cooking)
Pizza sauce or Tomato sauce
2 tablespoons (spread evenly)
Sliced mushrooms or Diced green pepper
1/4 cup (choose one, for topping)
Shredded mozzarella cheese or Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup (for topping)
Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, Italian seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
2
Heat vegetable oil in an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
4
As the edges start to set, gently push the cooked portions toward the center using a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg mixture to flow into the empty spaces.
5
When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly moist on top, spread the pizza or tomato sauce evenly over the surface.
6
Sprinkle your choice of vegetables and cheese generously on top of the sauce.
7
To melt the cheese, if your skillet is ovenproof, transfer it to a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. If not ovenproof, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 1-2 minutes on the stove until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8
Once the cheese has melted, slide the omelette onto a plate, slice it, and serve hot, garnished with additional toppings if desired.
