Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 0.25 cup diced bell peppers
- 0.25 cup diced onion
- 0.25 cup chopped spinach
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the eggs are fully blended and slightly frothy.
Prepare the vegetables by dicing the bell peppers and onion and chopping the spinach. Shred the cheese if not already pre-shredded.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables in the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the chopped spinach and shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edge of the omelet to check if the bottom is golden and cooked through. Once ready, carefully fold the plain half of the omelet over the side with the fillings.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the omelet to fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
