Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1/2 cup diced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup diced onions
Cheese and Garnish
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Cooking Fat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened.
- Cook the spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove the sautéed vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the omelette base: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil or butter to the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture, swirling the pan to evenly coat the surface. Cook the omelette over medium-low heat until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny on top.
- Add vegetables and cheese: Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables.
- Fold and finish cooking: Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelette is fully set.
- Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired, and serve hot for a delicious, veggie-packed meal.
Notes
- Use any combination of bell pepper colors for a vibrant appearance and varied flavor.
- Substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or your favorite cheese for a different taste.
- Make it dairy-free by using a plant-based milk and omitting the cheese or using vegan cheese alternatives.
- For an extra protein boost, add cooked diced ham or turkey to the vegetable filling.
- Ensure the skillet is non-stick or well-oiled to prevent the omelette from sticking and tearing when folding.
