Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large Eggs (fresh is best)
- 1 pinch Salt (to taste)
- 1 dash Pepper (freshly cracked is ideal)
Vegetables
- 1 cup Spinach (lightly wilted)
- 1 cup Bell Peppers (mix of red, yellow, and green, chopped)
- 1 small Onion (sautéed until translucent, chopped)
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Cheddar or Feta)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add bell peppers and spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted and peppers are tender, about 3-5 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Beat Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk thoroughly with salt and freshly cracked pepper until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy to incorporate air for fluffiness.
- Cook Omelette Base: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil. Pour half the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to cover the surface evenly.
- Add Filling: Once the edges start to set but the surface is still slightly runny, evenly spread half of the sautéed vegetables over the omelette, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top.
- Finish Cooking: Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the egg is fully cooked through. Use a spatula to gently fold the omelette in half, then slide it onto a plate. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for the second omelette.
- Serve: Serve the omelettes warm, optionally with fresh herbs or a side of whole-grain toast for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- You can substitute cheese with a dairy-free alternative to make it lactose-free.
- For a spicier kick, add finely chopped chili or a dash of hot sauce when adding vegetables.
- The recipe is easily doubled or halved to suit serving needs.
