Ingredients
  

  • 1 ostrich egg
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

  • Add the diced red bell pepper, diced spring onion, milk, salt, and pepper.
  • Whisk everything together thoroughly.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan.
  • Gently pour in the omelet mixture. Move it from the edges to the center as it begins to set.
  • When it has cooked underneath, flip it over with a spatula. Spread the cheddar cheese on top and let it melt.
  • Cook for a further 2 minutes. Make sure the omelet is thoroughly cooked.
