Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Eggs
Milk (optional, for fluffier texture)
Bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
Onion
Mushrooms
Spinach
Shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese I prefer)
Salt
Black pepper
Olive oil or butter for cooking

Directions

I start by whisking the eggs in a bowl with a splash of milk, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
I heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil or butter.
I sauté the chopped onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until they begin to soften.
I toss in the spinach last since it wilts quickly.
Once the veggies are tender, I pour the egg mixture over them evenly.
I let it cook undisturbed until the eggs begin to set around the edges.
I sprinkle the cheese over the top and gently fold the omelette in half.
I cover the pan for a minute or two to let the cheese melt thoroughly.
Once the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted, I carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot.

Variations

Sometimes I switch things up by adding chopped tomatoes, jalapeños, or even leftover roasted vegetables. If I want a little meat, I toss in diced cooked ham, turkey, or even some crispy bacon. For a dairy-free version, I skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative.

Storage/reheating

If I have leftovers, I store the omelette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place it in a non-stick skillet over low heat until warmed through, or microwave it for 30–45 seconds. I avoid overcooking during reheating to keep the eggs from turning rubbery.

FAQs

How do I make my omelette fluffier?

I like to add a splash of milk or water when whisking the eggs and make sure not to overcook them. Cooking on medium heat also helps.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

Yes, I often use frozen vegetables. I just make sure to thaw and drain them before sautéing to avoid excess moisture in the pan.

What cheese works best?

I typically use cheddar for its bold flavor and good melting quality, but mozzarella, pepper jack, or feta also work great depending on the flavor I want.

How do I prevent the omelette from sticking?

Using a non-stick skillet and a bit of oil or butter helps a lot. I also make sure not to move the eggs around too much while they cook.

Can I bake this instead of cooking it on the stove?

Yes, I sometimes pour the mixture into a greased oven-safe dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 12–15 minutes until set. It becomes more of a frittata but still delicious.

Conclusion

The Cheesy Veggie-Loaded Omelette Bomb is a delicious, quick, and customizable meal I rely on again and again. Whether I’m cleaning out the fridge or planning a filling breakfast, this dish always delivers flavor and satisfaction.
