Cheesy Omelet
Cheesy omelet is one of the most delightful breakfast dishes you can prepare. Perfect for lazy mornings or quick breakfasts, this protein-rich dish is both nutritious and satisfying. The key to a perfect omelet lies in the cooking technique - allowing the egg to set properly while ensuring the cheese melts to the right consistency. You can adjust the salt based on the cheese's saltiness, and children particularly enjoy the stretchy cheese texture. This recipe is simple enough for beginners but can be customized with different cheese types for variety.
