Recipe: Protein-Packed Veggie Omelette

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced (assorted colors for visual appeal)
  • 1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or your favorite)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives) for garnish (optional)
  • Salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Vegetables:
    • Dice the bell peppers, finely chop the onions, and dice the tomatoes.
  2. Whisk Eggs:
    • In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Sauté Vegetables:
    • In a non-stick skillet, heat butter or cooking oil over medium heat.
    • Add the diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté until softened.
  4. Add Tomatoes:
    • Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. The goal is to soften the vegetables without overcooking.
  5. Pour Whisked Eggs:
    • Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
  6. Swirl and Cook:
    • Swirl the skillet to ensure the eggs cover the vegetables evenly. Allow the omelette to cook undisturbed for a minute or two.
  7. Add Cheese:
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette.
  8. Fold and Serve:
    • Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula.
    • Continue cooking for another minute until the cheese is melted, and the eggs are fully cooked.
  9. Garnish and Serve:
    • Slide the Veggie Omelette onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
    • Serve hot with salsa or hot sauce on the side, if you like an extra kick.
