Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Pour the mixture into the hot pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Watch your omelette and as the eggs set; lift the edges with a spatula to check underneath. When it is setting up; you can see a lot of the egg whites cooked.
When the omelette is just about completely set, sprinkle one layer of the cheese over half of the omelette.
