Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffiness)
  • 1/2 cup cooked sausage (crumbled or sliced, any type)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
  • Chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or chives, for garnish, optional)

Timing

Making the Sausage & Cheese Omelette takes about 5 minutes for preparation and 5-7 minutes for cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  1. Cook the Sausage: If using raw sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  2. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 2: Cook the Omelette

  1. Heat the Skillet: In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s bubbly but not browned.
  2. Add Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 3: Add Fillings

  1. Add Sausage and Cheese: Once the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny, sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheese over one half of the omelette.
  2. Fold the Omelette: Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the fillings using a spatula.

Step 4: Finish Cooking

  1. Cook Through: Let the omelette cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Garnish and Enjoy: Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped herbs if desired, and serve warm.
