Ingredients
Vegetables
- ¼ cup red onions (finely chopped)
- ¼ cup red bell peppers (finely chopped)
- ¼ cup mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup baby spinach
Egg Mixture
- 2-3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley (for serving)
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in an 8-inch or 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped red onions, red bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms. Cook them until they become crisp-tender, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, add the baby spinach and continue cooking until the spinach wilts, approximately 1 more minute. Transfer these cooked vegetables to a small bowl and wipe down your pan to prepare for the eggs.
- Prepare and Cook the Egg Mixture: Crack 2 to 3 eggs into a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon of water, and beat them thoroughly. Pour this egg mixture into the same pan over medium heat. As the eggs start to set around the edges, use a spatula to gently push the cooked portions toward the center of the skillet. Tilt and rotate the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow into the empty spaces evenly.
- Add Filling and Cheese: When the eggs are almost fully set but still slightly runny on top, spoon the cooked vegetables onto half of the omelet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables. Using a spatula, carefully lift the unfilled half of the omelet and fold it over the filled half to create a half-moon shape.
- Serve and Garnish: Gently slide the folded omelet from the skillet onto a plate. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately for a warm and flavorful breakfast or light meal.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with any cheese of your preference.
- Adjust the number of eggs based on your desired omelet thickness.
- To make it vegan, replace eggs with a tofu scramble and omit cheese.
- For a fluffier omelet, add a pinch of baking powder to the eggs before cooking.
