- Let it cook for about a minute until the edges start to set.

- Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
Cost-Saving Tips:
You can bulk it up with chopped onions, tomatoes, or leftover veggies without adding much to the cost.
Use store-brand or generic cheese to keep costs low.
