Ingredients You’ll Need
To make this easy veggie omelette, gather the following ingredients:
2 large eggs
¼ cup bell peppers, diced
¼ cup spinach, chopped
¼ cup onions, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon oil or butter for cooking
Optional add-ins: shredded cheese, cooked ham, mushrooms, tofu, or fresh herbs.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the oil or butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to spread the eggs into an even layer.
Immediately sprinkle the diced bell peppers, spinach, and onions evenly over the eggs.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the center is just slightly soft.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half and remove from the heat. The eggs will finish cooking from residual heat.
The finished omelette should be tender, lightly golden, and soft in the center without being dry.
Tips for the Perfect Veggie Omelette
Don’t overcook: Eggs firm up quickly, so remove the omelette from heat as soon as it sets.
Chop vegetables finely: Smaller pieces cook faster and blend better with the eggs.
Lower heat if needed: Medium to medium-low heat prevents browning too quickly.
Add cheese last: If using cheese, sprinkle it on just before folding for a smooth melt.
Variations & Serving Ideas
Extra protein: Add cooked sausage, ham, or tofu.
Dairy-free: Skip cheese and use olive oil instead of butter.
Herb-forward: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or basil add brightness.
Serve your veggie omelette with whole-grain toast, fresh fruit, or a simple side salad for a complete and balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
This omelette is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until just warmed through.
