- Bell pepper
- 1, diced (red or yellow for sweetness)

- 1 small, diced
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Fresh basil

Instructions
- In a non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the diced eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, tomato, onion, and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté the vegetables for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and fragrant.
- While the vegetables are cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, then whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, evenly distribute them in the pan and pour the beaten eggs over them, ensuring the mixture is covered.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Remove the lid and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top of the omelette. Let it cook for an additional minute to warm the basil.
- Gently slide the omelette onto a serving plate, folding it in half if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated cheese (such as goat cheese or feta) on top before folding the omelette.
- You can customize this omelette by including other vegetables like spinach or mushrooms based on your preference.
- Serve with a simple mixed green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
