Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large farm-fresh eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup bell pepper (diced, any color)
- 0.25 cup zucchini (diced)
- 0.25 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 0.25 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and frothy.
Prepare your vegetables: dice the bell pepper and zucchini, halve the cherry tomatoes, and rinse the baby spinach.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until the spinach wilts slightly. Transfer the veggies to a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs into the same skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet while tilting the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
When the omelet is mostly set but slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
Add the sautéed vegetables onto the cheese-covered half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press lightly to seal.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
