Ingredients

  • Eggs (2-3 large eggs)

  • Milk or water (1-2 tablespoons)

  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

  • Olive oil or butter (1 tablespoon)

  • Bell peppers (¼ cup, chopped)

  • Onions (¼ cup, finely chopped)

  • Spinach (½ cup, fresh or frozen, chopped)

  • Tomatoes (¼ cup, diced, seeds removed)

  • Mushrooms (¼ cup, sliced)

  • Zucchini (¼ cup, grated or diced)

  • Cheese (¼ cup, shredded)

  • Fresh herbs (1 tablespoon, chopped)

  • Garlic (1 clove, minced)

  • Red pepper flakes (a pinch)


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  1. Chop the vegetables – Dice bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and any other veggies you’re using. If using leafy greens like spinach, chop them into smaller pieces.

  2. Shred the cheese (if using) – Grate cheddar, mozzarella, or any preferred cheese for easy melting.

  3. Beat the eggs – In a medium bowl, whisk 2-3 eggs with 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper for seasoning. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter.

  2. Cook the veggies – Add onions first and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened. Then, add bell peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini, stirring occasionally. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.

  3. Add spinach and tomatoes – Stir in chopped spinach and tomatoes, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set them aside.

Step 3: Cook the Omelette

  1. Reduce heat to low-medium and add a little more butter or oil if needed.

  2. Pour in the beaten eggs – Swirl the pan gently to distribute the eggs evenly.

  3. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges, tilting the pan slightly to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Step 4: Add the Fillings and Fold

  1. Sprinkle the sautéed vegetables evenly over one half of the omelette.

  2. Add cheese (optional) – Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the vegetables for a creamy, melted texture.

  3. Fold the omelette – Carefully use a spatula to fold the empty half over the vegetable-filled side.

  4. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until the cheese melts and the omelette is fully set.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs or extra cheese if desired.

  2. Serve immediately with toast, avocado slices, or a side of fresh salad for a complete meal.
