Vegetable Omelette


Healthy and simply delicious, this light and fluffy omelet is chock-full of fresh garden veggies, flavor and cheese. One you have all the ingredients at your hand, start cutting the veggies into some small pieces, then cook the vegetables a bit as well and put them over the backed omelet . Enjoy it! 


This recipe is for a basic 2-egg omelet .The trick to these omelets is to cook it over medium-low heat. You don’t want to overcook the eggs at all. You want to make a nice, fluffy, yellow egg-pancake and then fill it and fold it. Some of my favorite vegetable ingredients are spinach, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and peppers. You can have an amazing start to your day every day with these delicious breakfast ideas. This omelet is quick and easy to make and requires minimal preparation.
