🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until light and slightly frothy.
2️⃣ Sauté the Veggies
Heat butter or oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add onions → sauté 1–2 minutes until soft.
Add bell peppers and mushrooms → cook 2–3 minutes until tender.
Stir in spinach and tomatoes → cook 30 seconds.
Remove veggies and set aside.
3️⃣ Cook the Omelette
In the same pan (lower heat slightly), pour in whisked eggs.
Cook undisturbed 1–2 minutes until edges set.
Gently lift edges and tilt pan so uncooked egg flows underneath.
4️⃣ Add Filling
When eggs are mostly set but slightly soft on top:
Sprinkle cheese over one half → add sautéed veggies on top.

Q & A

Best eaten fresh, but you can store cooked omelette in the fridge up to 24 hours.
Q2: Why remove veggies before cooking eggs?
This prevents excess moisture and keeps the omelette fluffy, not soggy.

Yes! Pour everything into a greased oven-safe skillet and bake at 180°C / 350°F for 12–15 minutes.
Q4: What’s the fluffiest omelette trick?
Whisk well + low heat + don’t overcook.
Q5: Can I use plant-based eggs or cheese?
Absolutely — results will still be delicious.
