Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Seasoning
- 4 large Eggs (fresh is best)
- 1 pinch Salt (to taste)
- 1 dash Pepper (freshly cracked)
Vegetables
- 1 cup Spinach (lightly wilted)
- 1 cup Bell Peppers (mix of red, yellow, and green), chopped
- 1 small Onion (sautéed until translucent, diced)
Dairy & Oils
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Cheddar or Feta)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Chop the bell peppers and dice the onion. Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Whisk Eggs: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add salt and freshly cracked pepper, then whisk vigorously for about one minute until the mixture becomes frothy and well combined.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. 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. Let it cook undisturbed until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly golden, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add Cheese and Fold: Sprinkle shredded cheese over one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over the cheese-covered side, pressing gently. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelette is cooked through.
- Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with sliced avocado or a dollop of fresh salsa for extra flavor and nutrients.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Feel free to substitute cheese types based on preference, such as mozzarella or goat cheese.
- For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes while sautéing the vegetables.
