Ingredients
Scale
Omelette Base
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon or mixed herbs
Fillings
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (diced onions, carrots, bell peppers)
- 1/2 cup Spam or cooked meat, diced
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese or mozzarella, shredded
- 1 handful baby spinach or spring mix
Instructions
- Heat Olive Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
- Beat Eggs: In a bowl, beat 4 large eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined and light in texture.
- Add Mixed Vegetables: Add 1 cup of diced mixed vegetables (onions, carrots, bell peppers) to the hot pan and sauté for about 2 minutes until slightly softened but still vibrant.
- Pour Beaten Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables in the pan, creating an even layer.
- Add Seasonings and Fillings: Sprinkle salt, freshly ground pepper, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon or herbs evenly over the eggs. Add 1/2 cup of diced Spam or your preferred cooked meat and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese on top.
- Add Greens: Scatter a handful of baby spinach or spring mix over the omelette while the eggs begin to set.
- Cook and Fold Omelette: Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed until the edges start to set and the cheese begins to melt, then carefully fold the omelette in half, enclosing the fillings. Continue cooking for another minute to ensure everything is heated through.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately with any preferred additional toppings such as fresh herbs or extra cheese.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet for best results to prevent sticking and make folding easier.
- Feel free to substitute Spam with cooked bacon, ham, or sausage according to your preference.
- Mix up the vegetables based on seasonal availability or your personal tastes.
- Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley before serving for extra flavor.
- For a lighter version, use egg whites or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites.
