Step 1:

How do you make a skillet omelet with sausage and cheese? Start by gathering your ingredients. Any sausage works here, but I really like a mild cooked sausage such as bologna or kielbasa. Use whatever cheese you like, as long as it grates easily. The tomatoes can be large slicing tomatoes or small cherry tomatoes.
Step 2:

Wash the tomatoes, cut out the stem end, and slice them into rounds or dice them. Cut the sausage into short sticks.
Step 3:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Season with a little salt and your seasonings — I like a blend of ground peppercorns. Whisk everything just until the mixture is smooth and even.
Step 4:

Grate the cheese into the egg mixture and stir it in.
Step 5:

Heat a skillet over medium-high with a little oil and add the sausage. Fry it briefly, then add the chopped tomatoes. Cook them with the sausage for about a minute, just until the tomatoes soften.
Step 6:

Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and tomatoes. Cover the skillet and cook the omelet over low heat for about 8 to 10 minutes. Keep the heat low — if it's too high, the bottom will scorch before the top has a chance to set.
Step 7:

Your omelet with sausage and cheese is ready! Scatter a few fresh herbs on top and serve. Enjoy!

How can you tell if an egg is fresh? Crack it into a separate dish. First, there should be no off smell. The white of a fresh egg is clear and clean, and the yolk holds its shape — glossy, domed, and firm rather than runny.
A quick tip: the wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe, so use a good nonstick or well-seasoned skillet for an omelet like this.
To check whether the oil is hot enough, dip the tip of a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles gather around it, you're ready to start cooking.
