How to Make Peppy Rice Omelet

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine the cooked rice, shredded cheese, and chopped pepperoni.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with a fork until the yolks and whites are just combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the entire bottom of the pan is coated with melted butter.
  4. Pour the whisked eggs into the hot pan. Let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until the edges begin to set.
  5. Gently lift the cooked edges of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat until most of the egg is set but the top is still slightly wet.
  6. Spoon the rice and pepperoni mixture evenly down the center of the omelet.
  7. Using your spatula, carefully fold one side of the omelet over the filling.
  8. Cook for another minute or two, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the filling is heated through.
  9. Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy!
