Learn to make a perfectly fluffy and easy breakfast omelette packed with fresh vegetables, including spinach, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. A quick, healthy, and customizable meal for any morning!
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 small onion diced
- 2 medium mushrooms chopped
- 1/4 small red-bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 medium tomato chopped
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 slice chedder cheese shredded
- salt
- pepper
- 1 cilantro
Instructions
- Heat half of the olive oil (about 1/2 tablespoon) in a medium-sized non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the 1/2 small diced onion to the pan. Sauté gently for 1-2 minutes until it softens slightly and becomes fragrant, but not browned.
- Add the 2 medium chopped mushrooms to the pan with the onions. Continue to sauté for an additional 1 minute, allowing the mushrooms to release some of their moisture and begin to soften. Next, add the red bell pepper and cook for another minute, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chopped tomato to the pan. Cook for about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, add the fresh spinach. Stir well and cook for just another minute, until the spinach wilts down. Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and set them aside.
- In a small bowl, crack the eggs. Add the red pepper flakes (if using for a touch of heat) and a pinch of salt to taste. Beat the eggs vigorously with a fork or whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy. This aeration is key to achieving a fluffy omelette.
- Add the remaining half of the olive oil to the same pan and pour the beaten egg mixture evenly into the pan. Immediately tilt the pan around to ensure the eggs spread out into a thin, even layer covering the bottom. Cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the edges to set and the bottom to cook through.
- Flip the egg, then fill it with the vegetable mix and top with the cheese
- Gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
- Gently remove and serve
