The Classic Cheesy Egg Omelet
A classic omelet is a folded egg dish that's typically filled with ingredients of your choosing. Here's a recipe to start with:

Instructions: 1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well beaten. Season with salt and pepper. 2. In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. 3. Add the optional fillings to the skillet and cook until they're lightly browned and tender. 4. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the ingredients. Let cook for 30 seconds. 5. Using a rubber spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and let the uncooked egg fill in the spaces. 6. Sprinkle the cheese over one side of the omelet and fold the other side over the top of the cheese. 7. Cook for an additional 30 seconds or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through.
