Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup fresh spinach
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and beat them with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely blended. Add black pepper and mix well.
Heat the unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it is melted and slightly bubbling. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly with butter.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly soft.
Toss in the fresh spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
Pour the beaten eggs into the same skillet, swirling so the eggs coat the entire bottom of the pan. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Once the omelette's edges start to pull away from the pan and the center is starting to set, sprinkle the low-sodium cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Add the cooked vegetables and fresh chives evenly over the cheese.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the unfilled side of the omelette over the filled side. Cook for another minute to ensure the cheese melts.
Gently slide the omelette onto a plate and serve warm.
