Omelette Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (diced onions, carrots, bell peppers)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon or herbs
- 1/2 cup Spam or cooked meat, diced
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese or mozzarella
- 1 handful baby spinach or spring mix
Instructions
- Heat olive oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the vegetables and eggs.
- Beat eggs: In a bowl, beat the 4 large eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined, ensuring a uniform mixture.
- Cook vegetables: Add the diced onion, carrot, and bell pepper mixture to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until slightly softened but still vibrant.
- Pour eggs into pan: Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables in the pan, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly.
- Add seasonings and meat: Sprinkle salt, freshly ground pepper, smoked paprika, and dried tarragon or herbs evenly over the eggs. Distribute the diced Spam or cooked meat and the shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese over the surface.
- Add spinach: Scatter the handful of baby spinach or spring mix on top as the eggs begin to set.
- Fold omelette: Once the eggs are mostly set and the cheese has melted slightly, carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula.
- Serve: Transfer the omelette to a plate and top with any preferred additional toppings or fresh herbs, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute Spam with bacon, ham, or sausage based on preference.
- Feel free to customize the cheese type to your liking, such as gouda, feta, or Swiss.
- Keep the heat medium to avoid browning the eggs too much; the goal is a soft, fluffy texture.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for more servings.
- Omit meat and cheese to make this a vegetarian-friendly dish.
