How to Make Easy Cheesy Chip Omelette

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large (12-inch) oven-safe frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups of frozen potato chips and fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the chips in the frying pan. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  5. Cook the eggs, gently pushing the cooked edges towards the center with a spatula, until they are almost set but the top is still slightly wet (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Place the pan under the preheated grill for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown, and the eggs have puffed up slightly.
  8. Let cool for a minute or two before serving in wedges. Garnish with fresh salad greens or your favorite toppings!
