Ingredients
Scale
Omelette Base
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp milk, cream, or sour cream (10 mL)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- ¼ cup chopped mushrooms (15 g)
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped white onion
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped green bell pepper
Cheese and Fat
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (28 g)
- 1 Tbsp butter (divided, 14 g)
Instructions
- Beat: Whisk together the eggs and your choice of milk, cream, or sour cream until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous, ensuring the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Veggies: Melt half of the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, white onion, and both red and green bell peppers. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
- Egg: Add the remaining butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables. Let the bottom set slightly for 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat this process around the pan until no liquid egg remains on top.
- Cheese: When the egg is nearly cooked through, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt fully.
- Fold: Fold the omelette in half or into thirds. For a neat fold, slide half of the omelette out of the pan and halfway onto a plate, then fold the other half over. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
- This quick and easy vegetable omelette only requires about 5 minutes of prep time and 10 minutes of cooking, perfect for a nutritious breakfast.
- Ensure your pan is large and non-stick or well-seasoned to make flipping and folding easier.
- You can substitute the vegetables according to your preference or seasonal availability.
- For a fluffier omelette, you can add a splash of water instead of milk or cream.
- Serve with fresh herbs or your favorite hot sauce for extra flavor.
