Makes About 1 Serving
Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ¼ red, orange, or yellow pepper, chopped
- 2 free-range eggs
- Fresh (large pinch) or dried parsley (small pinch)
- 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Large handful of spinach, torn
- Fresh chives, roughly chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Cook the Vegetables
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped pepper and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened. For tips on cooking vegetables for omelettes, refer to this guide.
2. Prepare the Eggs
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a good grind of black pepper and a pinch of parsley. Ensure the mixture is well combined for a fluffy omelette.
3. Make the Omelette
Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the cooked peppers. Add the halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the eggs. Cook until the edges start to set but the top is still soft, about 2 minutes.
4. Add Spinach and Chives
Sprinkle the torn spinach and chopped chives over one half of the omelette. Allow the spinach to wilt slightly, adding extra nutrition and vibrant color to your meal.
5. Fold and Cook
Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the underside is golden brown and the eggs are fully set. For more on folding omelettes, check out this resource.
6. Serve
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with extra parsley or chives, if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Pair with a side of whole grain toast or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add other veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers to enrich the omelette.
- Protein Boost: Add cheese, ham, or tofu for an extra protein kick.
- Spice It Up: Incorporate a dash of hot sauce or sriracha for added heat.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the vegetable mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Simply add the eggs when ready to cook.
