Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup spinach leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup diced cooked ham or cooked crumbled bacon (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, letting the butter melt completely.
Add the diced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
If using, add the cooked ham or bacon to the skillet and mix it with the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute to heat through.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and gently tilt the pan to ensure the eggs spread evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the egg mixture.
Cook the omelet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, until the edges are set, and the center is slightly runny.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Dinner Omelet for Two!
