Description

A fluffy, protein-packed omelette loaded with sautéed vegetables and melty cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs (preferably at room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp milk or water
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1/2 tbsp butter or olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1/4 cup onion (finely diced)
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper (any color, diced)
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach (packed)
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or dill, for garnish (optional))

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until completely uniform and slightly frothy. This incorporates air for a fluffier texture. Set aside while you prep the veggies.
  2. Heat a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter or oil. Once hot, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the spinach and cook just until wilted, about 30 seconds. Transfer the cooked veggies to a plate.
  3. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the pan. Pour in the whisked eggs. Let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
  4. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the set edges toward the center, tilting the pan to let the uncooked egg flow into the empty space. Repeat this process around the edges until the top is mostly set but still slightly wet, about 1-2 minutes total.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette, then top the cheese with your cooked vegetables. Carefully fold the bare half of the omelette over the filling. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Slide onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
