Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup, loosely packed spinach
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 stalk, finely chopped green onion
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Prepare the vegetables by dicing the red bell pepper, chopping the green onion, and washing and patting the spinach dry.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the diced red bell pepper for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a small plate and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low, and in the same skillet, melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the cooked vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onion evenly over one side of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other side of the omelet over the filling. Press down gently with the spatula to seal.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelet to finish cooking through.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a serving plate and cut it in half to serve. Enjoy your perfectly cooked omelet for two!
