Ingredients

Directions

  1. Spray a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced potatoes and onions to the skillet.
  3. Saut the potatoes and onions for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden.
  4. Remove the potato and onion mixture from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  5. Wipe the skillet clean if necessary, then lightly spray again with cooking spray.
  6. Pour the cholesterol-free egg substitute into the skillet and sprinkle with black pepper.
  7. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until the edges begin to set.
  8. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  9. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top.
  10. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of the omelet.
  11. Spoon the cooked potato and onion mixture over the same half, on top of the cheese.
  12. Carefully lift the empty side of the omelet and fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  13. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the folded omelet.
  14. Cook for another minute until the cheese begins to melt and the omelet is heated through.
  15. Tilt the skillet and gently slide the omelet onto serving plates.
  16. Serve immediately while hot.
