Ingredients

  • Eggs 3 large
  • Bell peppers 1/2 cup
  • Onions 1/4 cup
  • Mushrooms 1/4 cup
  • Whole wheat English muffin 1 piece
  • Olive oil 1 tsp

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Wash the bell peppers and mushrooms thoroughly. Dice the bell peppers and onions into small pieces. Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them cook evenly and blend well in the omelette.
    Tip: Use a sharp knife to make dicing and slicing easier and safer.
  2. Beat the eggs. Crack the 3 large eggs into a bowl. Use a fork or whisk to beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
    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. Add the diced onions first and sauté for about 1 minute until slightly translucent. Then add the bell peppers and mushrooms. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
    Tip: Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking or burning.
  4. Add the eggs and cook the omelette. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. When the top is almost set but still slightly runny, carefully fold the omelette in half.
    Tip: Do not cook on too high heat to avoid burning the eggs and to keep the omelette fluffy.
  5. Toast the English muffin. While the omelette is cooking, split the whole wheat English muffin in half and toast it in a toaster or on a dry pan until golden brown and crisp.
    Tip: You can spread a little butter or olive oil on the muffin halves after toasting for extra flavor.
  6. Serve. Transfer the folded omelette onto a plate and serve alongside the toasted English muffin. Enjoy your wholesome and tasty breakfast!
    Tip: Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top of the omelette for a fresh touch.
