Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large Eggs (fresh is best)
- 1 pinch Salt (to taste)
- 1 dash Pepper (freshly cracked is ideal)
Vegetables
- 1 cup Spinach (lightly wilted)
- 1 cup Bell Peppers (mix of red, yellow, and green, chopped)
- 1 small Onion (sautéed until translucent, diced)
Other
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Cheddar or Feta)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients. Chop the bell peppers into small pieces and dice the onion finely. Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry using a clean towel or salad spinner.
- Whisk Eggs. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of freshly cracked pepper. Whisk vigorously for about one minute until the mixture becomes frothy, ensuring an airy omelette.
- Sauté Vegetables. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions first and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant. Then add the chopped bell peppers and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts and peppers soften slightly.
- Cook Omelette Base. Pour the beaten egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Cook undisturbed until the edges start to set and firm up but the center remains slightly runny.
- Add Cheese and Fold. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the omelette over the cheesy side, creating a half-moon shape. Continue cooking gently until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked through.
- Serve. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with sliced avocado or a spoonful of fresh salsa for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using fresh eggs ensures fluffier texture and better flavor.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
- For a lower fat option, reduce the amount of olive oil or use a non-stick skillet.
- Adding avocado or salsa as a garnish provides extra nutrients and taste variety.
- This recipe is easily doubled or halved depending on the number of servings needed.
