Ingredient Notes
This omelette includes 1 cup of fresh spinach, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 pound of eggs, and 1/2 cup of diced bell peppers. You can substitute spinach with kale or chard, and use non-dairy milk if desired. For the eggs, they can be replaced with egg whites or a vegan egg substitute. Fresh ingredients yield the best flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the diced bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies and reduce heat to low.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the edges are set. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Once set, fold the omelette in half and serve warm with a sprinkle of your favorite herbs.
Things I’ve Learned
Always use fresh veggies for the best taste and texture. If your omelette is sticking, make sure your skillet is well-greased with oil. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This recipe can also be prepped the night before for an even quicker breakfast!
