Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup broccoli, chopped
- 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by washing and chopping broccoli into small florets, dicing bell peppers into uniform small pieces, and measuring out shredded cheese.
- Crack eggs into a medium mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until eggs are well-blended and slightly frothy, creating a smooth mixture.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring even coating across the pan's surface.
- Add chopped broccoli and bell peppers to the skillet, sauté for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Pour whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables, tilting the pan to distribute eggs completely across the cooking surface.
- Allow eggs to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until edges begin to set and bottom becomes golden brown.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over one half of the omelette, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half, encasing the melted cheese and vegetables.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, flipping once to ensure even browning and complete egg cooking.
- Transfer omelette to a serving plate, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately while hot and cheese is melted.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, chop your broccoli and bell peppers the night before and store them in the fridge. This way, you can quickly throw everything together in the morning!
- Choose Your Cheese: While cheddar is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with different cheeses like feta, mozzarella, or pepper jack for a unique flavor profile.
- Don’t Rush the Cooking: Allow the omelette to cook undisturbed for a few minutes to ensure it sets properly. This will help you achieve a fluffy texture.
- Add Extra Flavor: Consider adding herbs like chives or parsley, or spices like paprika or chili flakes, to elevate the flavor of your omelette even more!
- Perfect Folding Technique: When folding your omelette, use a spatula to gently lift one side over the other. This technique will help keep the filling intact and create a beautiful presentation.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your omelette with whole-grain toast or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced breakfast that will keep you full and satisfied.
