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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
