Ingredients:
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp butter
• 25g mature cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions:
1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth.
2. Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until it begins to foam.
3. Pour in the eggs and cook for 1–2 minutes until the base is just set.
4. Scatter the grated cheese over one side of the omelette.
5. Fold the omelette in half to cover the cheese and cook for another minute until melted and gooey.
6. Slide onto a plate and serve immediately - perfect with a side of rocket or toast.
Healthy Swaps & Tips:

• Throw in leftover veg like spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms
• Use egg whites only to reduce fat and cholesterol
• Cook in a spray of olive oil instead of butter for a lighter option
