Instructions
Prep the vegetables: Dice the bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes into small, even pieces for even cooking.
Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs with milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Cook the vegetables: Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
Add tomatoes: Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 30 seconds. Spread the vegetables evenly in the pan.
Pour the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables. Let it sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
Cook the omelette: Gently lift the edges with a spatula to let the uncooked egg flow underneath. Sprinkle cheese on top.
Fold and serve: Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, fold it in half. Cook for another 30 seconds, then slide onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Chef's Tips
- Fluffy Eggs: Adding a splash of milk or water to the eggs makes the omelette lighter and fluffier.
- Low Heat: Cooking on medium-low heat ensures the omelette cooks evenly without burning.
- Custom Fillings: Feel free to add mushrooms, spinach, or any other favorite veggies.
- Cheese Choices: Use cheddar, feta, or mozzarella for different flavor profiles.
- Fresh Herbs: Garnish with parsley, chives, or cilantro for extra freshness.
