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 herbs
Vegetables
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (diced onions, carrots, bell peppers)
- 1 handful baby spinach or spring mix
Protein and Cheese
- 1/2 cup Spam or cooked meat, diced
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese or mozzarella
Instructions
- Heat olive oil: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, allowing it to warm and coat the pan evenly.
- Beat eggs: In a bowl, crack 4 large eggs and beat them thoroughly until combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt, freshly ground pepper, smoked paprika, and dried tarragon or herbs for added flavor.
- Add mixed vegetables: Stir in 1 cup of diced mixed vegetables, including onions, carrots, and bell peppers, and pour them into the hot pan.
- Cook vegetables: Sauté the vegetables in the pan for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until they soften slightly but remain crisp.
- Pour eggs into pan: Reduce heat slightly and pour the beaten eggs mixed with seasonings over the sautéed vegetables, spreading them evenly across the pan.
- Add Spam and cheese: Scatter 1/2 cup diced Spam or your choice of cooked meat evenly on top, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese over the surface.
- Add spinach: Place a handful of baby spinach or spring mix on one half of the omelette while the eggs are still slightly runny.
- Fold and finish: Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula, allowing the cheese to melt and the spinach to wilt. Cook for an additional minute until everything is heated through.
- Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and optionally top with extra fresh herbs, cheese, or your preferred toppings. Serve hot for a fulfilling breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute Spam with cooked bacon, ham, or sausage if preferred.
- Use any cheese you like; Swiss or feta are great alternatives.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the Spam or meat and add extra vegetables or tofu.
- Adjust seasoning to taste and add hot sauce or salsa for added flavor.
- Serve with whole-grain toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
