Cheese Omelet

2 eggs
pinch of salt
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup shredded cheese
hot pepper sauce (optional)

In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs, salt and 1-2 drop hot pepper sauce until eggs are blended. Melt butter in nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Coat the pan with melted butter by tilting pan back and forth. The butter will start to foam and as soon as the foam starts to disappear, pour eggs into the pan. Let stand over medium heat until the eggs begin to thicken and set. Sprinkle cheese over one half of eggs in pan. Let the eggs continue to cook until they are no longer wet and gooey on top. Fold omelet in half. Continue to heat until cheese is melted. Remove from pan and serve immediately.
Optional: Add chopped ham and fresh or sauteed vegetables with the cheese.
To saute vegetables: chop vegetable into small pieces (between the size of a tie tac and a piece of gum). Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Spray pan with cooking spray or add 1 Tbsp oil and turn to coat pan. Heat oil until it shimmers. Add vegetables and cook until tender and/or lightly browned.
