Notes

H2 PRO TIPS FOR THE PERFECT OMELETTE:
Always cook your omelette on low to medium heat. This keeps it tender and prevents overcooking.
Using a non-stick skillet can make the flipping process a lot smoother.
For an extra protein punch, consider adding a sprinkle of chia seeds or hemp seeds on top.
Don’t skip the mustard! It brings a tangy kick that complements the beef and cheese.
