Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Eggs (4 large)
  • Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh spinach (1 cup, chopped)
  • Onion (1/2, diced)
  • Mushrooms (1/2 cup, sliced)
  • Zucchini (1 small, diced)
  • Bell pepper (1/2, diced (any color))
  • Grated cheese (1/4 cup (cheddar, feta, or your choice))
  • Fresh herbs (optional) (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes, just until wilted.
  5. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently tilt the skillet to allow the eggs to spread evenly.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring, or until the edges of the omelette start to set.
  7. If desired, sprinkle the grated cheese over one half of the omelette.
  8. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half over the cheese.
  9. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through but still moist.
  10. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
