Omelette with Veggies

 A veggie omelette is a nutritious and satisfying breakfast option that's easy to customize. Here’s a simple recipe to make a delicious vegetable-packed omelette.

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup bell peppers (diced)
  • 1/4 cup onions (diced)
  • 1/4 cup spinach (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup cheese (cheddar, feta, or your choice, optional)
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Wash and chop all the vegetables.
    • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.

  2. Sauté the Veggies:

    • In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat.
    • Add the onions and bell peppers, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
    • Add the mushrooms and spinach, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the mushrooms are tender. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Cook the Omelette:

    • In the same skillet, pour in the egg mixture. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
    • Gently lift the edges with a spatula, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.

  4. Add the Veggies:

    • Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the sautéed veggies over one half of the omelette.
    • If using cheese, sprinkle it over the veggies.

  5. Fold and Finish Cooking:

    • Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Let it cook for another minute or so, until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.

  6. Serve:

    • Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!

Tips

  • Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences or what you have on hand. Zucchini, tomatoes, or kale are great additions!
  • For added flavor, consider seasoning with a pinch of paprika, garlic powder, or fresh herbs during cooking.

Enjoy your delicious veggie omelette!
