Description
Veggie Omelet is a light and healthy breakfast made with fluffy eggs and colorful sautéed vegetables, perfect for a nutritious start to your day.
Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup sliced mushrooms
- ¼ cup fresh spinach
Other
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
Instructions
- Heat Butter: Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced bell peppers and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until they start to soften. Then add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Cook Omelet: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed until they are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
- Add Cheese and Fold: Sprinkle shredded cheese on one half of the omelet if using. Carefully fold the omelet in half over the cheese and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Serve: Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Swap in your favorite vegetables like tomatoes, onions, or zucchini for variety.
- For a dairy-free version, omit the cheese and use a plant-based milk alternative.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Use olive oil instead of butter for a heart-healthier option.
