Instructions

1. Step 1: Whisk 4 large eggs in a bowl with 1/4 tsp salt until well combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
3. Step 3: Pour the beaten eggs over the peppers, then gently stir with a spatula until the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny in the center.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese and 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs evenly over the top of the eggs.
5. Step 5: Use a small spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half, creating a semi-circle shape. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
6. Step 6: Transfer the folded omelet to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute. Meanwhile, sprinkle 1 tbsp all-purpose flour over a clean work surface and gently roll the omelet in the flour to create a crispy, golden crust around the edges.
7. Step 7: Cut the omelet into 6 equal wedges to create the 'bites', and serve immediately while still warm.
