Prepare Vegetables
Cut all of your vegetables into a small dice. Saute over low-medium heat until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare Eggs
Beat eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper in a large bowl, blender, or food processor. Pour egg mixture into a pan set over low heat. Gently move eggs around to cover the bottom. When eggs are nearly set in the center, add vegetables to one side and flip the other side over them creating a classic omelette pocket. Turn off heat and add cheese. Serve when cheese is melted.
