Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt and Pepper
- to taste
- Turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup, halved
- Spinach
- 1 cup, chopped
- Onion
- 1 medium, diced
- Bell peppers
- 1 medium, diced
- Firm tofu
- 1 cup, crumbled
- Eggs
- 4 large
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This is where the tofu takes on a delightful golden hue from the turmeric.
- Add the chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts. The tomatoes will start releasing their sweet juices, adding another layer of flavor to the omelette.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the tofu and vegetable mixture in the skillet, ensuring an even distribution.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes until the omelette is set. Avoid stirring the omelette to maintain its structure.
- Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side. This gives the omelette a beautiful, slightly crisp exterior.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, slice, and serve hot. For a delicious variation, top with a dollop of your favorite salsa or avocado slices for added creaminess.
