Lunch: Paprika-onion cheese omelet

I love eggs. I try eating them every single day, but eggs can get really boring. It is easy for me to get sick of eggs. But I found that experimenting with them, will help you find amazing recipes. Here is one of my current favorite omelets that I love making:



You'll need:

2 eggs
1/4 paprika (doesn't matter which color, yellow is the sweetest)
1/8 onion
olive oil
grated cheese (I love Emmental cheese)
salt & pepper to taste

First you heat up the olive oil in a small pan. In the meantime you dice the onion and paprika, I like my dices to be a bit big, so they have a bite to them. When you're done, you throw the onion and paprika into the pan and let them brown a little. You then crack and beat the 2 eggs. When the onion and paprika are a bit browned, you stir it and divide the dices all over the pan. Evenly distribute the egg mixture over the onion and paprika. Put the heat on medium and let it sit for a minute. I lift the sides to help the mixture run from the center to the sides, which allows the omelet to cook evenly. After 1 minute I throw some cheese on it. I let it sit for a bit mroe until the omelet is cooked completely. Season with salt and pepper, flip half over the other side and enjoy!



This is very simple, and you can basically throw in anything you like. I've used spinach and garlic, but you can also use broccoli, tomatoes, etc.
