Cook Time:

• Preparation Time: 5 minutes

• Cooking Time: 10-12 minutes

• Total Time: Approximately 15-17 minutes

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Wash and chop the spinach, bell peppers, and mushrooms. If using other veggies like onions or tomatoes, chop them as well.

2. Cook the Vegetables:

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter or olive oil.

   • Add the bell peppers, mushrooms, and any other vegetables you’re using. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Omelette:

   • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

   • Pour the eggs into the same skillet and cook over medium-low heat, letting them set without stirring.

   • When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.

4. Add the Vegetables:

   • Spread the cooked vegetables evenly over the cheese.

   • Gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.

5. Finish Cooking:

   • Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.

6. Serve:

   • Slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with optional avocado slices or additional herbs if desired.

Tips:

1. Preheat the Skillet: Make sure your skillet is properly preheated before adding the eggs. This helps in cooking the omelette evenly and prevents sticking.

2. Whisk Eggs Well: Whisk the eggs thoroughly to ensure a fluffy texture. Adding a splash of water or milk can make the omelette lighter, but ensure it’s keto-friendly.

3. Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: If you’re adding a lot of vegetables, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This ensures they cook evenly and don’t release too much moisture.

4. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and cheese will enhance the flavor and texture of your omelette.

5. Garnish for Extra Flavor: Don’t forget to garnish with avocado slices or herbs for an added burst of flavor and texture.

Common Mistakes:

1. Overcooking the Eggs: Avoid cooking the eggs on high heat as they can become rubbery. Medium-low heat is ideal for a tender omelette.

2. Not Stirring Vegetables: If vegetables are not stirred occasionally while cooking, they can burn or cook unevenly. Ensure they are sautéed until tender but not overdone.

3. Underseasoning: Make sure to season the eggs and vegetables well. Lack of seasoning can result in a bland omelette.

4. Filling Too Much: Don’t overstuff the omelette with vegetables and cheese, as this can make it difficult to fold and cook evenly.

5. Not Allowing the Omelette to Set: Give the eggs time to set before adding the cheese and vegetables. This helps the omelette hold its shape better and ensures even cooking.
