Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffiness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup spinach, chopped

Cheese & Fat

  • 1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended to create a smooth mixture.
  2. Heat Pan: Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for sautéing.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Then add spinach and cook briefly until wilted.
  4. Add Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to evenly cover the vegetables.
  5. Cook Base: Let cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes, then gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
  6. Add Cheese: When the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle shredded cheese over half of the omelet.
  7. Fold Omelet: Fold the omelet in half over the cheese and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  8. Serve: Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use any combination of vegetables you like such as zucchini, tomatoes, or broccoli for different flavors and textures.
  • For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives to the egg mixture or as garnish.
  • Make it heartier by incorporating cooked meats like ham, turkey, or sausage.
  • If dairy-free, opt for plant-based cheese or omit cheese entirely to suit dietary needs.
