I propose a step-by-step recipe for making an unusual omelet with corn, pepper, tomatoes and cheese. The word omelet is a dish made of eggs, possibly with the addition of milk, sour cream, water. In fact, these are the same food, which differs in the composition of the ingredients and the option for the presence of eggs. It is believed to be a French dish where it is made with mixed eggs rather than beaten eggs. As a rule, the omelet is fried in butter (usually butter) on one side until the eggs are coagulated, rolled up and served. Sometimes it is prepared with a filling, which is filled into the finished omelet before rolling or immediately baked into the egg mass. In this recipe, I suggest making an omelet with baked products.
This simple omelet has its own little secrets. I advise you to choose tomatoes that are dense, fleshy and not very juicy, so that they do not flow in the pan and turn into a shapeless mass. Cheese is suitable not only for hard varieties, but also processed. Use a red, green, or yellow bell pepper of your choice. The corn recipe uses freshly boiled corn, but canned or frozen corn will work.
