Instructions
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by finely chopping the onion, tomato, green bell pepper, and green chilies. Keep them aside to have everything ready for the next steps.
-
Whisk the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until frothy. This will help create a light, fluffy texture when cooked. Set the mixture aside.
-
Saute the Vegetables: Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion and capsicum to the pan. Sauté until the onion softens and turns golden.
-
Add Green Chilies & Tomatoes: Add the chopped green chilies to the pan and sauté for another 20-30 seconds. Then, add the chopped tomato and sauté until it wilts slightly.
-
Seasoning: Season the vegetable mixture with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes (optional, depending on your spice preference). Spread the vegetable mixture evenly across the pan.
-
Cook the Omelette Base: Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables. Let the mixture cook undisturbed, allowing the edges to firm up while the top remains uncooked. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add Cheese & Coriander: Sprinkle the grated cheese and freshly chopped coriander on top of the omelette. Continue cooking until the omelette is fully set and the cheese has melted. If desired, you can cover the pan with a lid to speed up the cooking process for the top.
-
Serve: Once the omelette is cooked through and golden on the edges, carefully slide it out of the pan. Serve it hot with a side of Apple Almond Date Smoothie for a nutritious breakfast or brunch.
Enjoy the spicy goodness of this Indian-inspired omelette as a flavorful start to your day. The combination of savory spices, creamy cheese, and fresh herbs makes it a breakfast that’s both indulgent and healthy.
