Making a vegetable omelette is a simple and delicious way to incorporate nutritious ingredients. Here's a basic recipe for a vegetable omelette:

Ingredients:

• 2-3 large eggs

• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

• 1/4 cup diced onions

• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon cooking oil (vegetable oil, olive oil, or butter)

• Optional: Grated cheese, chopped herbs (such as parsley or chives)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Vegetables:

   • Dice the bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes into small, uniform pieces.

2. Whisk the Eggs:

   • Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk them well until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

3. Heat the Pan:

   • Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil and let it heat up.

4. Sauté Vegetables:

   • Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Sauté them until they are softened, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

6. Pour in Whisked Eggs:

   • Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.

8. Optional: Add Cheese and Herbs:

   • If desired, sprinkle grated cheese and chopped herbs over one half of the omelette.

9. Fold the Omelette:

   • Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the omelette in half using the spatula.

10. Finish Cooking:

    • Cook for an additional minute or until the cheese is melted, and the omelette is cooked to your liking.

11. Serve:

    • Slide the omelette onto a plate. You can garnish it with additional herbs or a sprinkle of pepper if desired.
