Ingredients
Scale
Omelette Base
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon or herbs
Vegetables and Meat
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (diced onions, carrots, bell peppers)
- 1/2 cup Spam or cooked meat, diced
- 1 handful baby spinach or spring mix
Cheese
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese or mozzarella
Instructions
- Heat olive oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking to prepare for sautéeing the vegetables.
- Beat eggs: In a bowl, thoroughly beat 4 large eggs and season them with salt, freshly ground pepper, smoked paprika, and dried tarragon or herbs for flavor.
- Cook mixed vegetables: Add the diced onions, carrots, and bell peppers to the hot skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes until slightly softened but still vibrant.
- Add eggs to pan: Pour the beaten, seasoned eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet, letting the eggs begin to set over medium heat.
- Add meat and cheese: Sprinkle the diced Spam or cooked meat and the shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese evenly across the eggs to add savory richness and melt into the omelette.
- Add spinach and fold: Scatter the handful of baby spinach or spring mix over one half of the omelette. When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula.
- Finish and serve: Let the folded omelette cook for another minute to melt the cheese fully and wilt the spinach. Slide onto a plate and add any preferred toppings or seasonings before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables to maximize flavor and texture.
- You can substitute Spam with any cooked meat of your choice, like ham or bacon.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and increase the vegetables and cheese.
- Cook the omelette over medium heat to avoid browning or drying out the eggs.
- Add herbs or spices according to your taste preferences for more flavor variations.
