Vegetables and Meat
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (diced onions, carrots, bell peppers)
- 1/2 cup Spam or cooked meat, diced
- 1 handful baby spinach or spring mix
Cheese
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese or mozzarella
Instructions
- Heat olive oil: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, allowing it to warm up evenly.
- Beat eggs: In a bowl, crack 4 large eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are well combined.
- Add vegetables: Stir in 1 cup of mixed diced vegetables including onions, carrots, and bell peppers into the pan with the warmed oil.
- Cook vegetables: Sauté the mixed vegetables for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften but remain crisp.
- Pour eggs and add seasonings: Pour the beaten eggs over the cooked vegetables in the pan, then add salt, freshly ground pepper, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon or herbs for flavor.
- Add meat and cheese: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of diced Spam or cooked meat and 1/2 cup of cheddar or mozzarella cheese evenly across the eggs.
- Add greens and fold omelette: Place a handful of baby spinach or spring mix on one side of the cooking omelette, carefully fold the other half over the filling, and allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through, transfer the omelette to a plate and top with any preferred garnishes or additional seasonings.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the Spam or cooked meat and add more vegetables.
- Use non-stick spray or additional olive oil if your pan is not non-stick to prevent sticking.
- Feel free to customize the cheese type and vegetables based on preference.
- Cook the omelette on medium heat to avoid burning the eggs while ensuring full cooking.
