Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1/2 cup diced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup diced onions
Other
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Sauté vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes. Then add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the sautéed vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the omelette base: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil or butter to the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cook the omelette over medium-low heat until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny on top.
- Add filling and fold: Evenly spread the sautéed vegetables over one half of the omelette, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
- Finish cooking: Continue cooking the folded omelette for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelette is cooked through.
- Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired, and enjoy your hot, cheesy veggie-packed breakfast.

- You can substitute cheddar cheese with any cheese of your choice, such as mozzarella or feta.
- For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based milk and cheese alternative.
- Make sure to cook the vegetables thoroughly for the best texture inside the omelette.
- Feel free to add herbs like basil or oregano for additional flavor.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for more servings.
