- Large Eggs: 3, whisked
- Red Bell Pepper: 1/4 cup, diced
- Spinach Leaves: 1/2 cup, chopped
- Red Onion: 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Cherry Tomatoes: 1/4 cup, halved
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black Pepper: 1/8 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
- Milk (optional): 1 tablespoon
- Preheat Your Equipment: Place your non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for a minute or two.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add olive oil to the heated skillet, swirling to coat evenly. Toss in red onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Add spinach and tomatoes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour the whisked egg mixture over the veggies in the skillet. Tilt the pan to spread it evenly.
- Cook to Perfection: Let the omelette cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Finishing Touches: Once the center is just set, fold the omelette in half. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 30 seconds.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better texture.
- Pre-sauté veggies to avoid a watery omelette.
- Don’t overcook—remove from heat when center is just set.
