This savory omelet is a quick and protein-rich breakfast option filled with colorful vegetables and melted cheese. Perfectly fluffy and customizable, it combines sautéed veggies with gooey cheese for a delicious meal ready in just 15 minutes.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 omelet

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffiness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup spinach, chopped

Other Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring the omelet will be fluffy and seasoned.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened. Then add the chopped spinach and cook briefly until wilted.
  3. Add eggs to skillet: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables by tilting the skillet to distribute the eggs across the pan.
  4. Cook the omelet base: Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to set. Gently lift the edges with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath for even cooking.
  5. Add cheese: Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheese over half of the omelet.
  6. Fold and finish cooking: Carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the cheese and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts thoroughly and the eggs are fully cooked.
  7. Serve: Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve hot for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use any combination of vegetables you like such as zucchini, tomatoes, or broccoli for different flavors and textures.
  • Enhance flavor by adding fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives.
  • Make your omelet heartier by including cooked meats like ham, turkey, or sausage.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cheese substitutes or omit cheese entirely.
