A veggie omelette is a versatile and nutritious dish that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a quick dinner. It's made by whisking eggs with your favorite vegetables and then cooking them together until the eggs are set and the veggies are tender. Here's how to make a delicious veggie omelette:
Ingredients: 3 eggs 1/4 cup milk (or water) Salt and pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon butter or oil 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (any color) 1/4 cup diced onions 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped spinach or kale 1/4 cup diced tomatoes 1/4 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or feta) Optional toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop the vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Sauté the diced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach (or kale), and tomatoes until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk (or water). Season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs until they are well beaten and frothy. This helps to create a light and fluffy omelette.
Cook the Omelette: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Once the skillet is hot, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a minute or two until the edges start to set.
Add the Vegetables: Spoon the sautéed vegetables evenly over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the vegetables. The cheese will melt and help hold the omelette together.
Fold and Finish Cooking: Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Cook the omelette for another minute or two until the cheese is melted, and the eggs are cooked through.
Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with optional toppings such as sliced avocado, salsa, or fresh herbs. Serve the veggie omelette hot, accompanied by toast, a side salad, or your favorite breakfast potatoes.
Feel free to customize your veggie omelette with your favorite vegetables and toppings. You can add diced zucchini, shredded carrots, or any other veggies you have on hand. For added protein, you can incorporate cooked bacon, ham, sausage, or tofu into the omelette filling. Be sure not to overfill the omelette, as it may become difficult to fold. A moderate amount of filling will ensure that the omelette holds together well.
Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious veggie omelette for a satisfying meal any time of day!
