Vegetable Omelette Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers (any color), diced
  • 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite), shredded
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil (olive oil or butter)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Vegetables:
    • Dice the bell peppers and tomatoes, and finely chop the onions.
  2. Whisk the Eggs:
    • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat the Pan:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Sauté Vegetables:
    • Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté them until they become tender, usually about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add Tomatoes:
    • Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are just softened.
  6. Spread Vegetables:
    • Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly across the skillet.
  7. Pour Whisked Eggs:
    • Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables, ensuring an even distribution.
  8. Cook the Omelette:
    • Allow the omelette to cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes until the edges start to set.
  9. Add Cheese:
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one-half of the omelette.
  10. Fold the Omelette:
    • Once the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown, use a spatula to fold the omelette in half, covering the cheese.
  11. Finish Cooking:
    • Continue cooking for another minute or until the cheese is melted, and the omelette is cooked to your liking.
  12. Serve Warm:
    • Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately while it’s hot and the cheese is gooey.

Feel free to customize this vegetable omelette by adding your favorite herbs, such as parsley or chives, or incorporating other vegetables like spinach or mushrooms. It’s a versatile and nutritious breakfast or brunch option!
