This veggie omelette is a quick and healthy breakfast or snack. It’s made with eggs and lots of fresh vegetables like peppers, spinach, and tomatoes. It’s bright, tasty, and filling.
I like to add a little cheese or herbs to make it extra special. Sometimes I make it with what I have in the fridge—less time searching, more time enjoying!
For a lighter option, skip the cheese or add a side fruit. It’s quick to cook and perfect for busy mornings or whenever you want a veggie boost.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: The base of the omelette; I recommend using fresh eggs for a fluffier texture. If needed, whisk in a splash of milk or water to make it even softer. You can also try egg whites for a lower-calorie option.
Bell peppers: Add crunch and sweetness. Use any color you like! I love red peppers for their bright flavor, but green or yellow work well too. For a milder taste, try chopped zucchini or mushrooms instead.
Onions: Bring a savory depth. Sautéed onions make the omelette more flavorful. If you’re short on time, a sprinkle of onion powder works as a quick substitute.
Cheese: Creates a melty, creamy texture. Cheddar adds sharpness, but mozzarella or feta are good options. For a dairy-free version, nutritional yeast can add a cheesy flavor.
How do I fold the omelette without breaking it?
Make sure the eggs are just set but still slightly runny on top. Use a wide spatula:
- Slide the spatula under one side of the omelette gently.
- Fold it over the fillings in a smooth motion.
- Let it cook another minute to set the fold, then carefully slide it onto a plate.
