SERVES 3–4

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 pound cooked shrimp
  • 1½ cups grated Havarti cheese
  1. In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add bell pepper; cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes, until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat eggs with water, salt, and pepper.

  2. Add egg mixture to pan. Cook for 2 minutes. Continue cooking, lifting egg mixture to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath.

  3. When eggs are almost set but still glossy after about 4 minutes longer, top with shrimp and cheese. Cover and cook for 2 more minutes, until cheese melts. Fold omelet and serve immediately.
