How to Make An Apple Cheddar Cheese Omelet

Here's a sweet twist on the omelet perfect for a cool fall morning (or night). This recipe for an Apple Cheddar Cheese Omelet makes two servings of this quick, delightful dish.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 Large Eggs
• 2 Tbsp Milk
• 3 Tbsp Cheddar Cheese
• 1 Apple
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to Taste

1. 
    

   Gather together your ingredients. This will save you time later.

2. 
    

   Chop a medium-sized apple. You can either core it first or simply cut around the core as I did. The apple I used for this dish is a honey crisp apple, but any sweet or tangy variety will do.

3. 
    

   In a non-stick frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat to medium-low heat. Add the chopped apples and cook until they are soft (about 5 minutes). Take off the heat and set aside the cooked apples. You can place them on a dish or in a bowl.

4. 
    

   Grate about 3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese.

5. 
    

   Beat the eggs.

6. 
    

   Add 2 tablespoons of milk and salt and pepper to taste. Mix some more.

7. 
    

   In the non-stick frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat to medium heat. Move the pan around so the oil coats its sides. Add the egg mixture. Cook for about a half a minute and then with a non-stick spatula, push the cooked egg from the edges of the pan to the center, letting the uncooked eggs flow out to the edges. Allow the omelet to cook for a few more minutes. The center should be starting to firm up.

8. 
    

   Add the apples to the center of the omelet.

9. 
    

   Add the grated cheese to the center of the omelet.

10. 
     

    Using the non-stick spatula, carefully fold the omelet over. Keep it on the heat until the cheese melts. Slide it out of the pan onto a plate. Cut it in half, serve and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings

• For a cruchy alternative, don't pre-cook the apple.
• In a hurry? Mircowave the chopped apple with a 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 1 minute instead of cooking the chopped apple in the pan.
