Easy and delicious, this cheese onion pepper omelette is a great brunch idea that does not require baking or turning. Serve alone for a low carb breakfast, enjoy with fruit or your favorite bread.
About the cheese:
For this recipe, I really enjoy muenster cheese or grated chihuahua (Mexican melting cheese). If you do use muenster, two thin slices cut in small pieces will do for this recipe. Experiment with different types of cheese and peppers to find what works for you!
