Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: In a pan over high heat, add a splash of extra virgin olive oil and stir-fry your chopped vegetables until they are lightly crispy and tender. You can use a mix of your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, spinach, or mushrooms.
-
Cook the Eggs: While the vegetables are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with one tablespoon of water. Add a pinch of Cayenne pepper or black pepper for a touch of heat and flavor.
-
Combine: Once the vegetables are ready and slightly crispy, reduce the heat to medium. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, ensuring the vegetables are evenly distributed within the eggs. Let the eggs cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny on top.
-
Finish the Omelet: When the eggs are almost cooked through, carefully flip the omelet to cook for a brief moment on the other side, just until fully set. This step ensures a perfectly juicy omelet.
-
Serve: Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve immediately. Pair it with some crusty bread or a side of fresh fruit for a wholesome breakfast.
Advice
- For a creamier texture, you can add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking them.
- Feel free to customize your vegetables based on what you have on handโzucchini, tomatoes, or even leftover roasted vegetables work wonderfully in this omelet.
- If you prefer a bit more protein, adding a sprinkle of grated cheese or some diced ham would make a great addition.
