Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 0.5 medium, diced bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the sea salt and black pepper, then whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it begins to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the diced bell pepper to the pan with the onion and continue to sauté until the vegetables are softened, approximately 3 more minutes.
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs cover the vegetables evenly.
Allow the edges of the omelet to cook, then gently lift them with a spatula, tilting the pan further to let any uncooked eggs flow underneath. Repeat until the omelet is mostly cooked but still slightly soft on top.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the omelet and gently fold one side over the other using a spatula, creating a semi-circle shape.
Cook for an additional minute to seal the omelet, then slide it onto a serving plate. Serve immediately.
