Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons mushrooms, chopped
Cheese and Cooking Fat
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is light and frothy to ensure a fluffy omelette.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion, mushrooms, and bell peppers and sauté for 2–3 minutes until they soften and release their flavors.
- Wilt Spinach: Add the chopped baby spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until it wilts down and blends with the other vegetables.
- Cook Egg Layer: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed veggies in the skillet. Allow it to cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until the edges begin to set but the center remains slightly runny.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the egg layer to ensure a cheesy filling once folded.
- Fold Omelette: Using a spatula, carefully fold one side of the omelette over the other, creating a half-moon shape to enclose the veggies and melted cheese inside.
- Finish Cooking: Cook for another 1–2 minutes on low heat until the cheese melts completely and the center is fully set for a perfect cheesy texture.
- Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
