Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, diced
- 0.5 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.25 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons salsa (mild or medium, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or coat the pan lightly with cooking spray.
Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until they begin to set at the edges.
Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges and cook evenly.
When the eggs are almost set but still slightly moist on top, evenly distribute the cooked vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese over one-half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and ensure the eggs are fully cooked.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and top with salsa before serving. Enjoy immediately for a flavorful, healthy meal!
