Ingredients

  • Large eggs 3 pieces
  • Bell peppers 1/2 cup
  • Onions 1/4 cup
  • Whole wheat bread 2 slices
  • Olive oil 1 tsp

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Wash the bell peppers and onions thoroughly. Chop the bell peppers into small, bite-sized pieces. Peel and finely chop the onions. Set the chopped vegetables aside.
    Tip: Use a sharp knife for easier and safer chopping.
  2. Beat the eggs. Crack the 3 large eggs into a bowl. Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. This will help make the omelette fluffy.
    Tip: Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs for seasoning if desired.
  3. Cook the vegetables. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onions and bell peppers. Sauté the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
    Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent the vegetables from burning.
  4. Add eggs and cook the omelette. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables in the pan. Tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and let uncooked eggs flow underneath. Cook until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly moist on top.
    Tip: Avoid cooking on too high heat to prevent browning or burning.
  5. Fold and finish cooking. Once the omelette is mostly set, carefully fold it in half using the spatula. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure the inside is fully cooked but still tender.
    Tip: If you prefer, you can cover the pan with a lid to help the top cook evenly.
  6. Toast the bread. While the omelette is cooking, place the 2 slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or toaster oven. Toast them to your preferred level of crispiness.
    Tip: For added flavor, lightly butter the toast after toasting.
  7. Serve. Transfer the omelette to a plate and serve alongside the toasted whole wheat bread. Enjoy your nutritious and tasty breakfast!
    Tip: Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top for extra freshness.

Pro tips
