Learn how to make a perfect vegetable omelette every time with this simple and delicious recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp milk, cream, or sour cream (10 mL)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup chopped mushrooms (15 g)
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped white onion
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped green bell pepper
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (28 g)
- 1 Tbsp butter (divided, 14 g)
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs and your choice of milk, cream, or sour cream until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Melt half of the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, white onion, and both red and green bell peppers. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables. Let the bottom set slightly for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat this process until no liquid egg remains on top.
- When the egg is nearly cooked through, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt fully.
- Fold the omelette in half or into thirds. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
