Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), diced
- 0.5 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until well combined.
Prepare all the vegetables by dicing the bell pepper, slicing the mushrooms, halving the cherry tomatoes, chopping the spinach, and dicing the onion.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and reduce the skillet heat to medium-low.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, ensuring they spread evenly to cover the pan surface.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until they begin to set but are still slightly runny on top.
Evenly distribute the cooked vegetables and shredded cheese over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press gently to seal.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another minute to melt the cheese and fully set the eggs.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.
