A quick, nutritious, and customizable Veggie Omelet combining fresh vegetables and fluffy eggs for a healthy and satisfying breakfast, ready in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Base

  • 3 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes

Optional Additions

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Veggies: Chop all your vegetables finely and evenly so they cook at the same rate. Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then sauté onions and bell peppers until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add spinach and tomatoes last, cooking just until the spinach wilts.
  2. Beat the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy—that means more fluff in the finished omelet.
  3. Cook the Omelet Base: Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked veggies in the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute. Let it cook untouched for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
  4. Add Cheese and Fold: If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle it over half the omelet. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half, then cook for another minute to let the cheese melt and the eggs finish cooking.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slide the omelet gently onto a plate and garnish as desired. Now it’s time to dive into your delicious, nutrient-packed Veggie Omelet!

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for better texture and richer flavor.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
  • Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and make folding easier.
  • Prep all ingredients before cooking for a smooth workflow.
  • Don’t overfill the omelet with veggies to avoid sogginess and difficulty folding.
