Instructions
-
Prep the ingredients: Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl and adding the milk. Use a whisk or fork to beat the eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
-
Shred the cheese: If you haven’t already, shred the Monterey Jack pepper cheese into fine pieces. This will help it melt smoothly inside the omelet.
-
Cook the omelet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and allow it to cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
-
Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelet while the top is still slightly runny. Allow the cheese to melt as the omelet continues to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
-
Fold the omelet: Once the omelet is fully set and the cheese has melted, carefully fold the omelet in half, creating a half-moon shape. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to ensure the cheese is fully melted inside.
-
Serve: Slide the omelet onto a plate, serve immediately, and enjoy the perfect combination of creamy cheese and savory eggs!
Pro Tip: For added flavor, you can top your Mexican Jack Cheese Omelet with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, or fresh cilantro.
Enjoy this flavorful Mexican Jack Cheese Omelet that is not only quick to make but also loaded with protein, making it a perfect start to your day!
