A photograph showcasing a top-down view of a perfectly folded, golden-brown omelette resting on a pristine white ceramic plate. The omelette's interior reveals a vibrant filling of melted cheddar cheese, fresh spinach, and colorful sautéed bell peppers, neatly tucked within the seam. Beside the omelette sits a slice of toasted sourdough bread and a few slices of creamy avocado on the cool, grey marble countertop. Soft, natural light streams in from the left, illuminating the dish and creating subtle shadows that emphasize the textures.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup bell peppers diced
  • ¼ cup onions chopped
  • ¼ cup spinach roughly chopped
  • ⅓ cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Non-stick Pan For cooking the omelette
  • Spatula To flip and fold
  • Bowl To whisk the eggs

Method
 

  1. Heat half the butter or oil in a non-stick pan. Add bell peppers and onions and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove vegetables from the pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and milk or cream if using.
  3. Wipe the pan and add the remaining butter. Pour in the eggs and tilt the pan to spread evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Once mostly set, add the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheese to one half of the omelette. Fold the other half over the filling. Cook for another minute until the cheese melts.
  5. Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use any leftover cooked veggies—mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, etc.
  • Swap cheddar with feta, goat cheese, or Swiss for a different flavor.
  • Make it a meal with toast, greens, or roasted potatoes on the side.
