This Vegetable Omelette with Fresh Herbs is a healthy, protein-packed breakfast or brunch option. Filled with sautéed vegetables and fresh herbs, it's a colorful and delicious way to start your day. Quick and easy, this dish is also customizable with your favorite vegetables and herbs.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1/4 cup onion finely diced
- 1/4 cup bell pepper diced (any color)
- 1/4 cup zucchini diced
- 1/4 cup spinach or kale optional
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese optional, such as cheddar, feta, or goat cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Chop the vegetables and herbs into small pieces.
- Sauté the vegetables:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onions, bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
- If using spinach or kale, add it to the skillet in the last minute of cooking to wilt it.
- Cook the omelette:
- Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables. Tilt the pan to ensure the eggs cover the vegetables evenly.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the edges to set while the center remains a little runny.
- Sprinkle the fresh herbs and cheese (if using) over the top of the omelette.
- Once the edges are golden and the center is mostly set, gently fold the omelette in half and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.
- Serve:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to use any vegetables you like, such as mushrooms, tomatoes, or broccoli.
- You can make this omelette dairy-free by omitting the cheese or using a dairy-free alternative.
- For a lighter version, use egg whites or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites.
- If you prefer a fluffier omelette, add a splash of milk or water to the eggs before whisking.
