This Veggie Omelette with Cheese is a tasty breakfast or anytime meal. It’s made with eggs, colorful vegetables, and melted cheese for a warm, cheesy bite. Perfect for a quick, healthy start.
I make mine with whatever veggies I have around — peppers, spinach, or tomatoes. Sometimes I sneak in a bit of hot sauce for extra flavor. It’s fun to get creative!
For an easy finish, I fold the omelette gently and serve it with toast. It’s filling and simple — a good way to kick off your day.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Eggs are the base of the omelette, providing fluffiness. I recommend using fresh eggs for the best texture. If you want a lighter omelette, try adding a splash of milk or water. For a vegan twist, try chickpea flour mixed with water.
Cheese: Cheese adds richness and melts smoothly. I love cheddar or Swiss for classic flavor, but mozzarella or provolone work well too. For a milder taste, use cream cheese or a dairy-free cheese alternative.
Veggies: Fresh vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or tomatoes give crunch and freshness. I like to sauté them slightly first for better flavor. Frozen veggies are fine; just thaw and drain before adding.
Oil or butter: Used for cooking the eggs and veggies; it keeps everything from sticking. I prefer butter for flavor, but vegetable oil works perfectly. For a healthier option, use olive oil or a light spray.
How do I make sure my omelette doesn’t stick to the pan?
Use a non-stick skillet and preheat it over medium heat before adding oil or butter. Make sure the fat is hot before pouring in the eggs—this helps create a barrier. Avoid increasing the heat suddenly to prevent sticking or burning.
- Coat the pan evenly with oil or butter and let it heat until shimmering or melted.
- Pour in your beaten eggs and let them set around the edges before gently lifting to let uncooked eggs flow underneath.
- Use a non-metal spatula to carefully loosen the edges if needed, preventing sticking and tearing.
