Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup chopped bell peppers and onions mixed
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

  • Prep the Veggies:
  • Chop the peppers and onions into small, even pieces.
  • Lightly sauté them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, just until softened. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Whisk the Eggs:
  • In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until fully combined.
  • Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Cook the Omelet:
  • In the same skillet, heat 1 tsp oil or butter over medium heat.
  • Pour in the eggs and swirl the pan to spread evenly.
  • Let cook undisturbed for about 1–2 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is just slightly runny.
  • Add Filling & Fold:
  • Sprinkle the sautéed peppers and onions evenly over one half of the omelet.
  • Add the cheese on top of the veggies.
  • Gently fold the omelet in half using a spatula.
  • Finish & Serve:
  • Cook for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
  • Slide onto a plate and serve hot.

Tips & Variations
  • Use egg whites or a plant-based egg substitute for a lighter version.
