Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (or plant-based milk)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach (or any leafy green)
- 2 tablespoons grated cheese (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnishing (like parsley or chives, optional)
Instructions
-
Prep the Ingredients: Start by chopping all your vegetables so they are ready to go.
-
Beat the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Heat the Pan: Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
-
Sauté the Veggies: Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft. Then, add the spinach and cook for another minute until wilted.
-
Cook the Omelette: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
-
Add Cheese: If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it over one half of the omelette after about 2 minutes.
-
Fold and Serve: Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, fold the omelette in half. Cook for another minute to ensure it's cooked through. Slide it onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Flavor Profile
This omelette is light and fluffy with a delightful medley of flavors from the sautéed vegetables. The saltiness of cheese complements the freshness of the veggies, and the herbs elevate it to a restaurant-quality dish.
