Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup, diced red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup, diced zucchini
- 0.25 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 cup, shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring the butter coats the pan evenly.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the vegetables are tender.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the egg mixture and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted. Avoid stirring to keep the omelet intact.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a serving plate, folding it in half if desired.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
