Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup (diced) green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (diced) yellow onion
- 1 cup (loosely packed) baby spinach
- 0.5 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk until the eggs are well blended and frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it wilts. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs evenly coat the bottom.
Cook the eggs undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to set around the edges.
Evenly distribute the cooked vegetables and halved cherry tomatoes over one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables.
Use a spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegetable Garden Omelet!
