Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers chopped
  • 1/2 cup spinach chopped
  • 1/4 cup onions diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Frying pan

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until fully blended, with a light, frothy texture.
  2. Add the chopped bell peppers, spinach, and diced onions to the eggs. Gently fold everything together so the vegetables are evenly coated.
  3. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, listening for a gentle sizzling as the oil warms.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Wait until the edges begin to set and turn slightly golden, about 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Let the omelette cook gently for another 2-3 minutes until the top is just set but still slightly moist.
  6. Carefully slide a spatula underneath and fold the omelette in half, or slide it onto a plate if you prefer a flat presentation. The omelette should be fluffy and tender with vibrant vegetable bits visible.
  7. Slice the omelette into portions and serve hot with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy the colorful, tender dish that’s perfect for a quick, nutritious meal.
