Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier omelet, consider whisking in a splash of milk or cream with the eggs. You can substitute the vegetables with any frozen mix you have on hand, such as spinach or bell peppers. If you prefer a different cheese, Swiss or feta would work well too. Adjust the salt based on the saltiness of your cheese.
