Vegetable Omelette – A Healthy, Protein-Packed Breakfast

  • Chop all the vegetables into small, even pieces.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well combined.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

  • Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in spinach and tomatoes and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Remove veggies from the pan and set aside.

3. Cook the Omelette

  • Reduce heat to low and pour the beaten eggs into the pan.
  • Let cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
  • Gently push the edges inward with a spatula, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath.

4. Add the Fillings & Fold

  • Once mostly set, sprinkle the sautéed veggies and cheese over half the omelette.
  • Carefully fold the omelette in half and cook for 30 more seconds until cheese melts.

5. Serve & Enjoy!

  • Slide onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs, avocado, or hot sauce.

Serving & Storage Tips

  • Serving: Pair with whole-grain toast, a side salad, or roasted potatoes.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Warm in a skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes or microwave in short bursts.

Variations & Customizations

  • Protein Boost: Add cooked chicken, tofu, or turkey.
  • Low-Carb Option: Skip the cheese and add extra veggies.
  • Spicy Kick: Mix in jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
  • Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free cheese or skip the cheese entirely.
