Veggie Omelet Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color, but we like green the best)
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil or cooking spray
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or cooking spray.
3. Add the sliced bell peppers, green onions, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them spread evenly in the skillet.
5. As the eggs start to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
6. When the omelet is almost fully cooked but still slightly runny on top, season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Fold one side of the omelet over the other half, and slide it onto a plate.
8. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious and nutritious egg veggie omelet!
Tip: For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs or a tablespoon of cheese to the omelet before folding it.
