3. Stir in the potatoes and cook 5 minutes longer.
4. Place the egg substitute, water and pepper into a bowl and whisk until well blended.
5. Pour the mixture over the onions and peppers.
6. Cook 5 minutes and as the eggs set lift the edges so the uncooked egg can set.

8. Fold the egg over the top of the cheese.
9. Cook the omelet 1 minute longer or until the cheese melts.

Makes 4 servings

This omelet doesn’t need any added meat to be filling or to taste good. For something a little different add chopped tomatoes into the egg mixture before pouring it into the skillet.
