Starting your day with a healthy and nutritious breakfast is essential, and what could be better than a vegetable omelette packed with vitamins and minerals? It’s a delicious, quick, and easy meal that’s versatile enough for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to make your own fluffy vegetable omelette.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the onions and bell peppers, and sauté until they’re slightly soft.
- Add the tomatoes and spinach, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the spinach wilts.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables. Cook for a few minutes, until the edges of the omelette begin to set.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges and tilt the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- When the omelette is mostly set but still a little runny on top, sprinkle the cheese over half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the omelette in half by flipping one side over the other.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully set.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot.
Tips and Variations:
- Feel free to use any combination of vegetables you prefer or have on hand.
- Add herbs like chives, parsley, or dill for an extra flavor boost.
- For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese and use water or dairy-free milk alternative with the eggs.
- Increase the protein content by adding diced ham, cooked bacon, or crumbled sausage.
- If you’re cooking for more people, simply increase the ingredients proportionally.
