Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Spinach
- 4 whole Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 whole Red bell pepper
- 1 stalk Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Low-fat milk
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients: roughly chop the spinach, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red bell pepper, and finely chop the green onion and parsley.
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the low-fat milk. Whisk together until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Add black pepper to the egg mixture and whisk to incorporate.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Add the chopped bell pepper to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until they start to soften.
Add the spinach and cook an additional minute until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan over the vegetables, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
Allow the omelet to cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the cherry tomatoes and green onions over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Cook for an additional minute to ensure the eggs are fully set.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
