Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

- Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently tilt the skillet to allow the eggs to spread evenly.

- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Feel free to substitute the vegetables with any seasonal produce you have on hand, such as tomatoes, asparagus, or broccoli.
- For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the eggs before cooking.
- Pair the omelette with a light salad or crusty bread for a complete brunch experience.
