Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup bell peppers (diced, mixed colors)
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1/4 cup sweet onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1/4 cup cheese (optional, shredded)
Instructions
- Prepare your veggies: Finely chop the bell peppers, onions, and spinach.
- Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sauté the veggies: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions first and cook until soft; then add bell peppers.
- Add spinach: Once the peppers are tender, stir in the spinach until wilted.
- Cook the omelet: Pour the egg mixture over sautéed veggies—let it set for 1-2 minutes without stirring.
- Finish cooking: Lift edges of the omelet gently with a spatula as uncooked egg flows underneath. If using cheese, sprinkle it on before folding the omelet in half.
